Funding - a benefactor!

Since I mentioned on 18th July that the funding for Island Blogging would only carry us to the end of August I have received two donations totalling £115 which will ensure that Island Blogging can continue until the end of September 2013. If anyone wants to help further and extend the life of IB you can still do so by donating on the Support Island Blogging page.

Thank you so much to to both the people who donated and especially to the overseas follower who donated an unbelievable £100 to carry Island Blogging for a full year. I won’t mention him by name as many benefactors prefer to remain anonymous but I can say that he has been a long term follower of Island Blogging and he obviously derives a great deal of pleasure reading about Scottish Island life (as do hundreds, if not thousands, of other followers).

Island Blogging has been very quiet now for over a year so perhaps this incredible show of support will encourage a few bloggers to put fingers to keyboard and fire up their blogs to let the world know what the privilege of living on one of these wonderful Scottish Islands is like.

Donation

Many thanks to reader/visitor David Lakin for a recent donation which helps Island Blogging continue.

The last funding ‘push’ was about eighteen months ago but the funds in hand only cover costs until the end of August - about six weeks - so we’ll soon be needing a few donations from bloggers if Island Blogging is to continue. It costs about £10 a month for the server and that’s all we need to cover.

New Twitter Feed

I have set up a new Twitter account for Island Blogging @IslandBlogging. In theory it should pick up all the posts from Island Blogging shortly after they are posted (the feed is checked every half hour).

So far it looks as if it works but only time will tell. Those with Twitter accounts might like to follow @IslandBlogging.

New link to independent blogs

As it seems to have gone very quiet on Island Blogging over the past few months I have added a feed to the latest posts from the independent island blogs listed on the News and Updates page. You can find a link at the bottom of the front page.

Check it out and you will find that many islanders with their own blogs haven’t posted anything recently either. Maybe island life is just too enjoyable to sit in front of a computer?
