Dec. 9th, 2014 09:49 amThe Daily Report
There's been some very mixed news in the family health front in the past few days, though mixed is better than at least one of the alternatives. My emotions are a little up and down, though, as a result.
While I still have a real need to bring in some money immediately, I'm pleased to announce that my Patreon campaign is almost to the next benchmark, $400 a month, and this is before I've even completed a planned revamp on the Patreon page to broaden its appeal.
$400 is the point at which we'll unlock ad-free Tales of MU for patrons. I have everything set up on the backend for this. I do want to do a full site backup before going live with this. That takes a variable but manageable amount of time because the TOMU database is too large for Wordpress's import function to handle, so I have to export it in chunks.
Patrons who wish to take advantage of this ad-free reading will need to register and sign in (note that this functionality is currently turned off)... I'll be comparing registrant emails to Patreon emails and switching patrons over to the requisite privilege level manually, as I don't have the technical skills or resources to make my Wordpress installation somehow communicate with Patreon directly. Still, that's a small hurdle, and one I can manage.
The State of the Me
Doing okay. Was up bright and early this morning.
Plans For Today
I'm going to be doing some poetry work, and then focusing on Tales of MU.
