Services like TypePad and Wordpress tend to be top-of-mind platforms for new bloggers, but the session covered a ton of features about what makes Blogger different and great for nonprofits such as: Free hosting (use your own URL!). Option to embed a Google Checkout button to drive fundraising. Ability to upload longer, larger files.

Group 3: Fundraising Widgets. When I produced this screencast, widgets for fundraising or charity badges were just being announced. Fundraising is the life blood of nonprofits and is another area of active experimentation using strategies called ??? personal fundraising??? I'm not a techy, so I use typepad.

ChipIn (fundraising widget) - Still in beta. I'm not a techy, so I use typepad. Typepad has integrated widgets into the blogging platform, so adding a widget is even easier than cut and paste! I did, however, find another excellent comment line at Emergency Trap Blog (he left a comment in one of the posts). Downside, not free.

A nonprofit organization that provides support for homeless in Northern, CA found references to homeless people on restaurant blogs and used what they learn for a fundraising campaign.

My blogging platform, Typepad, does not have a way to easily and automatically measure the number of posts and words in post in a given time period. Some unsubscribe because they feel my blog is too technical and they are looking for pure marketing or fundraising or nonprofit news - and I refer them to other blogs. It currently 575.

Michael Stein's Non-profit Technology Blog

OCTOBER 27, 2006

For those of use who blog on technology, politics, marketing, fundraising, and other issues, the public image of the blogger as a teenaged diarist or bored young mom giving the whole world way too much personal information is one we combat daily. Her newest venture, Vox , allows a blog to be published to a specific group of members.
