A Site Status Update
Posted by Jason Dunn in "UPDATE" @ 08:30 AM
I've been working on several "behind the scenes" things for the site, and I wanted to give everyone an update on how they're coming along. First up, later today (hopefully) I'll be posting a list and photo of all the items we have to give away in a big contest we're going to be running starting next week. We're going to be giving away one prize a week for 17 solid weeks! 8O And we have some sweet prizes thanks to some generous sponsors: a Viewsonic V35 and a V37, a 1 GB CF card, and much more. A few of these prizes were purchased by myself in anticipation of the subscribers services launch, so I've been planning this for a long time. :mrgreen: All subscribers will be entered into the contests automatically, and non-subscribers can enter by sending me a postcard. More details to follow...
Next up, the discounts coupons page. This should have been launched weeks ago :oops:, but we had a development snag: Fabrizio, our lead developer, was away for two weeks on a much-needed vacation. Prior to that, he built a special page that only subscribers can see, and that page will be the home for the new codes. But in order to facilitate distributing the PDAMill application codes, I need to build a form that subscribers will use to request the codes. The form has been built, but I needed to wait for Fabrizio to return in order to integrate it into the subscriber page. He's back, and I hope to have this launched by Friday.
I've also been working on a subscriber FAQ, and we're now set up to accept credit cards for subscriber payments rather than just PayPal and money orders. I hope to have the subscriber page updated by next week with this new information.
Good things coming for subscribers! I've been really blown away by the number of you who have subscribed, and I'm deeply grateful that you value the work we do here.
