:wave: Hi gang!

I have been hard at work coming up with new ideas on how to reward my loyal patrons (THANK YOU!) with new and exciting additions to Gotmead. So, here's the next one:

PATRON HOME PAGES

Now, I have to assign accounts manually, and we only have 50 of them until I raise the $109 US (the software is $59 GBP) to upgrade to unlimited accounts, so the first 49 patrons (Angus already got one) to email me will get an account and directions on how to use it.

Patron pages lite allows me to give you up to 5 pages of your own to do whatever you like, and updating them is easy, and you don't have to know HTML. The menu link and the pages will be available for everyone to view your mead reminiscings.

I'm working on ways to get some cash into the GM coffers, so the rest of you be patient, I'll have it before long and will be able to upgrade, I'm sure! Meanwhile, everyone checkout all our cool affiliates (check the ads in the right column and on top, as well as the message I posted yesterday in the forum for links), do some holiday shopping, and toss a bit of cash my way!

Patrons, thanks again for your loyalty, and I hope you like this new toy.

Vicky - laboring long into the night on new stuff for GM

OK Delt, here ya go:

You need to click the patron pages menu link, and it will give you instructions. Then, click Patron Pages menu link again, and it will give you the controls to set up your page(s). You've got up to 5 pages (I'll have unlimited after I upgrade this package to the paid version later). Holler if you get hung up, ok?

All of you who have emailed, PM'ed and such to this post time will get Patron pages. Bear with me, I've got severe tendonitis in my right hand, and I'm typing *really* slow and clumsy, so it might take me a day or so to get them all done, but I'll try to get them up tonight.

As of this post, there are 41 patron pages left....

(Boy I can't wait to upgrade!)

Vicky - *ouch* I hate having tendonitis.....

Gotcha covered, Jay. And I haven't forgotten, I'll shoot some stuff over tomorrow. You up for some boring copying and pasting to get the MLD up to date?

Just remember, neurologically speaking, it's only the left handed people who are in their right mind. ;D ;D ;D (speaking as a fellow left hander ;D )

Echoing the sentiments of this forum, thanks once again for all that you do here. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Hey, all you folks that jumped me on this wanting a page, go at least update the main page so they don't *all* say 'waiting update'......LOL
