It is a very excited day – my new Donation’s Page is up and running! This new and improved site offers many more features that the previous page did not have. In this blog I will go through the list of features to explain my new page.
1. Donation Button: My previous webpage had some structural issue with giving a one-time gift. Now, one link will bring you to a secure page that offers both the options of one-time and recurring gifts. This should eliminate any of the previous issues.
2. Fundraising Thermometer: At the right hand of the screen is a fundraising thermometer. This shows my donors how much of my funds have been given to me. My goal is $25,000 because I’m raising funds for my first 2 years of service. I am currently at 40% of my funds given. This site allows me to add donations that were not given via the website. In turn, you get a more accurate picture of where I stand financially.
3. Help Spread the Word: The section just below the thermometer allows family, friends, and supporters to easily share my donation page with people they know. You can link my page on facebook, twitter, and email. You can also advertise my page on your blog! These links are a great way to help spread the word about my mission and fundraising.
4. Blog: In the center column just below my story, there is a section for blog updates. These updates will give you the latest information about my fundraising and where I stand financially. If I have a need, this is where you can find out!
5. Message Board: Most exciting of all, there is a message board. This is where you can stop by and leave me messages. Some have informed me, it can be difficult to leave messages on my blog (mightykaleo.blogspot.com). This is an easy way to send me messages.
6. Gadget on my Blog: Instead of trying to remember this webpage and my blog’s URL, I have a quick and easy link to this donation page in the left column of my blog: http://mightykaleo.blogspot.com. It is at this website I hope to have all of the information and links you may need.
