How YOU benefit if the blog fundraiser makes goal

Fundraising total to date: $4,415.

Goal: $5,500. UPDATE 8/31/16: We have more than made goal, thanks to you! You can still benefit by donating (see below), but I couldn’t be happier. Right now.

Getting there, guys. Getting there, thanks to you.

So let me tell you what happens when (I’m going for when, rather than if) this fundraiser reaches its goal. It’s good news. For you, as well as me.

Right now, you see a blog. There’s a half-finished home page, too. Not much on it yet, but it’s pretty. I have in mind for it to serve as a portal and perhaps a place to have a little non-blog fun. We’ll see. These features remain no matter what happens, moneywise. You got us this far.

But. If we make goal, there’s more. Or there will be over time. Among other things, there’ll be a member-only area with a private forum, free downloads, and occasional articles for members only. And everybody who’s contributed more than $20 to the current fundraiser will automatically be entitled to membership. Length of membership will depend upon the size of your contribution, but the minimum will be three months.

Why a private forum? Several good reasons. Minimizing the presence of trolls and eejits. Creating a small, intimate discussion area that will expand on the flavor of the Living Freedom Commentariat. Being able to let our hair down among friends. Another reason for the private forum is that that’s where you’ll find “Silver’s Corner.” If you hung out on the old TCF/TMM forums, you know Silver for his expert analyses of money and free-market economic matters. He also has several other areas of helpful expertise. He’s not over there any more. Now you’ll find him here, in the member area. He has pledged to post at least one article a week and to participate in discussions, answer questions, and generally be his enlightening self. I’ll be there, too, of course. My role will be … um … adding class to the joint. And Attitude. 🙂

I’ll remain out here blogging for all to see, also. Silver might occasionally blog, as well, though his presence in the hidden forums will be his main mission.

I hope you’ll be here, as you were at the old BHM blog.

For now, I’ll mostly be dual posting both places until this site is developed a bit more. Then we’ll make the move. Meantime, please bookmark this page: clairewolfe.com/blog and I’ll let you know when we’re ready to make the switch.
