Before I decide to bail out, here’s a chance to bail me out:
Bloggers were omitted from the federal economic stimulus package. And my CultureGrrl Ad Drive has, thus far, not been a roaring success. But some dedicated readers who have nothing to advertise have assured me that they’d gladly support the blog.
So for those of you who would like to help keep CultureGrrl thumping the keyboard, now you can:
As you may have noticed, I have now added a “Donate” button to the blog’s middle column. Payment can be either through your own PayPal account or by credit card. (For the latter, click the “continue” link in the lower left corner of the donation page.) It’s a secure (non-tax deductible) transaction, handled completely by PayPal, not by me.
I’d like to call this a “voluntary subscription,” but my webmaster tells me that’s not how things work on the Internet. I’m not a waiter, so I don’t want to call it a “Tip Jar.” (Tips of the news variety are, of course, always welcome!) Call it what you will. Just be sure to vote early and often!
For those of you who may have been considering placing an ad, please take note that my righthand column is again dispiritingly bare. You might be interested to know that January was my highest-traffic month ever—70,600 hits.
UPDATE: I’ve just received my first (and I hope not last) donation—a generous one. I hope there may be more such votes of confidence. Many thanks!
