The Seven Secrets of Successful Fundraising


Beating the Blogfade Bug

Posted in 1 by Amal Abdalhakim-Douglas on the January 9, 2009

Would you believe that i’ve got half a dozen great blog articles in draft mode? Why, I ask myself. The answer is probably the same reason I’m not great at text messaging. I want it to be written well, complete and giving readers clear options etc.
So, from now on, shorter blogs except when absolutely necesssary and not trying to cover everything in one go. Let’s see what happens.

I’ve discovered some great websites and software which i’ll be mentioning from time to time, not least of all WordPress which continues to offer a great service and for the main part absolutely free of charge.

I also like Mogulus which allows you to become a TV station from your desktop (or even laptop for that matter).

The eBook “Seven Secrets of Successful Fundraising ” will be launched very soon, so watch this space.

Just listening to Ayyub King’s Almoravid Podcast (http://ping.fm/y1WvY) which I subscribed to via iTunes. Nice!
