DONATIONS

There is no charge whatsoever for a blog on Island Blogging, you simply have to comply with the ‘residency’ requirements as outlined in the Terms of Service. The site does, however, cost money to run. If you have a blog here, or even if you are a regular visitor, you might want to consider making a donation towards the running cost. The site does not cost a lot to run but it is only fair that these costs are borne by the community - both bloggers and visitors - who enjoy Island Blogging and not by any one person.

The cost of our server and the domain name comes to around £100 a year and if you would like to contribute towards these costs and help keep Island Blogging on track you can do so by clicking the button below.

We do not intend to make any profit so all donations will be put towards the running costs on an ongoing basis and will, hopefully, ensure Island Blogging’s future for years to come.

Donations to date mean that Island Blogging is currently fully funded until

August 2012

You may make a donation at any time to extend the period of funding.

PROMOTION

We have a good core of bloggers already here but they represent only a tiny fraction of the folks on the islands who regularly use the internet and we would like many more to join our community. A simple way you can help is to ask your local Post Office or Community Centre if they will allow you to put up a notice letting people know we are here. If you click on the link below you will be able to download a notice that you can print at home and distribute. The link should open either in your browser window or in Adobe Acrobat Reader and the document can then be saved to you computer or printed directly. Alternatively you can right click on the link and choose ‘Save file/link as…’ to save it directly on your computer.

Download flyer

Print out a few copies and post them around your local community. If you make a trip to another island take a few copies with you and get them posted up wherever you can.

If you have any other ideas on promoting Island Blogging please share them on the questions/Comments page.
