[/caption]Wouldn't it be great if this blog had its own domain name and custom style sheet? In order to break out of the Wordpress ransom of features like the ability to save edits to CSS we have to cough up some cash. U8UNTU eLXR is looking for a kind donor willing to sponsor the $14.95 pa for a custom domain, and another $14.95 for CSS. If you one of the 500+ people generating in the region of 10 000 unique page impressions per month, then you might want to consider sponsoring this blog. Your name will receive acknowledgement on our About page and your karma will increase in the Ubuntu community. So please help out one of the more entertaining reads amongst Ubuntu users. Every bit helps, even if you donate just a couple of dollars, it will assist in the upgrade.

Pretty broke ourselves this month, don't know where all the clients went that we had in February, so can't help out with any donations, sorry,
ReplyDeletebut would like to mention that getting your own hosted WordPress blog in South Africa is not that expensive - we charge R120 for a .co.za domain registration or R190 for a .com domain registration (renewable yearly). Hosting we charge R55 a month for a 50 meg site with unlimited bandwidth (enough for starting out with a WordPress blog (chosen from thousands of snazzy free themes), before upgrading later to the 200 meg hosting package of R75 per month - slight discount allowed if paying for either hosting package upfront for a year.) For uploading the WordPress blog to your server, we charge R120, once off, and that's it. Finished. (we even set the akismet spam plug in and permalink structure for you too)
Not sure if you'll allow this comment through, but just food for thought for you anyway.
