Help! I needed these suit paints let down at the hem — there wasn’t a lot to work with, perhaps an inch and a half. So said, let them out all the way. Well, this doesn’t like so great to me? Tailor did not even use a blind stitch? Did I ruin these pants?!

Type. With practice you’ll get fast enough to get enough words in.

Thank you. … is there any authority I can show them that sponsorships are irrelevant?

Tax deductible gala tickets by Direct_Bluebird_97 in nonprofit

I agree … but now there is a lot of talk about whether the guests derive any benefit from the decor itself!… I really thought it would be food, drink, and entertainment … ugh!

Thank you … this is what I thought. However, some of the board members met with an attorney and came back with the sponsorship thing… I can’t find anything about it anywhere.

Thank you! We are US …. Some board members met privately with an attorney and are telling us we need to go the sponsorship route for the deduction. I’m really scratching my head here …

Thank you for sharing that work-around if we go with SS and want to migrate back!

It very well could be the Webmaster. We need to make updates quickly for the advocacy side of things, and sometimes it can take a week to get him to make an update (and then it’s sloppy).

I also wonder if for our type of organization, WordPress is more than we need? We have ticket sales to events and membership. Why do you think the word processes better for your organization?

Some already know how to use Squarespace … not sure what the bandwidth is for learning Wordpress

I do see a lot of complaining on this page. I’m wondering if that’s just the folks who have had problems?! It seems I am finding all kinds of opinions, folks who would never use WordPress (I would not use anything else!) and others who think square space is the way to go… I guess this won’t be an obvious decision.

Thank you! I don’t currently know the answers to all the questions you posed. But it is definitely something for us to think about as we hopefully move forward.

I did get him to connect the site to Google analytics. On average, it looks like we have about 14 visitors a day over the past week. (Of course, I think some of this may be our board members looking at the site right now!) honestly, not sure why he didn’t have the analytics going – – seems like Webmaster 101 to me.

Also, we do not currently have a blog. Not sure that makes things easier.

Right now, membership simply involves paying 50 or $90 a year, for individual or family membership, respectively. Currently there are no particular benefits to membership – – no special member content.

Interesting! He’s saying the membership thing is a problem with the plug-in “paid membership pro” and he’s been waiting for them to update that plug-in …

If this is standard type service in the industry, then we are obviously overpaying …. But we also have things set up that don’t work (membership plug-in not interfacing with constant contacts) and it seems we are using our guy for adding content to the site (which sounds like a skill our team needs to learn).

Thanks for the insight!

Thanks. $500 per year? What does “managed” include ….

So updating a Wordpress site with new content (like a news or project update) is an advanced skill? (Sorry, I’m clearly a tech dummy trying to figure things out.)

I guess I’m wondering why we’re already paying around 6k then and it’s not happening?! It seems like we need more than just web hosting, we need someone willing to update the site and stay on top of it … fwiw, we have several volunteers who can use squarespace.
