Liese, if it happens again, can you have a look at/send me the HTML?

Yup. No problem.

ita, insending re: the slug display wonkiness.

Thanks, Liese.

Where is our link to Amazon, again? I just linked to them in Press. I went to the FAQ first, and did a control+F on "amazon" but couldn't find it. I checked out a few of the FAQ entries that seemed like they might hold the information, but they didn't.

I know we don't want to be crass about this, but I actually know Jon has set up his account to link there and will give us the money when it adds up to anything significant. I know we have a link somewhere, and I still couldn't find it. People who don't know we get any benefit from going to Amazon through b.org, are going to have a hard time knowing it, if people who already know can't find it.

(For the record, in the FAQ, I checked the following entries: Funding/Donations, Buffista Merchandise, Phoenix board, and Links.)

I do see that the Where Do I Get Buffy on Tape/DVD entry, that links to Amazon for each season of BtVS has "wobbly music" in the URL. But I thought there was a general link to Amazon, so that no matter what we bought, we'd get the $$.

Did I misunderstand? Am I missing it? Should we clarify a little, if not? I know we don't want to beg. I do think we could add a link and a one line, straight forward mention in the Funding/Donations section, without being gross.

There's no general link anywhere. It's only in those specific links you found.

The current Funding/Donations entry reads:

Q. Cool! How can I help support the Buffista Phoenix Board? Money, right?

A. We would love financial support for a webhost, etc. If you would like to contribute some of your hard-earned money to the Phoenix Board, Jesse and Sophia Brooks are heading up the fundraising effort. Any amount is appreciated, none too small, none too big. E-mail donations@buffistas.org with your name, username and email, and they will e-mail you back with instructions about where to send a check. If you prefer to donate by PayPal, you can direct your donation to donations@buffistas.org.

Would it be too much, if we added to the Funding/Donations section of the FAQ, something along the lines of:

We also like free money. It's the best kind. We get it, and it costs you nothing. If you shop at Amazon.com, please consider using this link (and then provide a general link with the wobblymusic thingie) to get there. Thanks.

I've always felt we should have a link to "Help fund us" information right there on the left hand margine. But that's just me.

I feel eh about it. If we were in a money crunch and people weren't donating, I'd say go for it. But since we're reasonably okay for the moment, and if we end up needing to go dedicated we'll need a significant drive, then I kinda like it low-key. But I don't want it to be frustrating for people, either. So, eh.

This is how I feel, too. But there were some objections similar to Liese's to doing that, at least unless/until we needed to make a major push.

It's just frustrating the other way around too, though. We are linking (with credit - I don't know the term for this) to the Buffy DVDs, but I own that stuff. I think a general Amazon link makes more sense. We already have a funding/donations entry. What's un-low-key about including the general link there?
