December: season of donations, we should add a prominent notice on the homepage/sidebar

Hi everybody, finally figured out how to get to loomio page.

I just wanted to say that this is a season in a large part of the World when people are really in the mood to make donations. I should have said something sooner, it just didn't occur to me. This is relatively important because if it reaches the right people it could make the money to run for the year, so delaying too long is NOT a good idea.

I would suggest this seasonal (or some seasonal) message be placed on the Poddery User's landing page. It's ok to ask people who use the service to give something, if one is too passive nothing will happen. Being direct at this time of year is very reasonable.

@abhijithb21 can you make this crowd funding as the first option at https://poddery.com/donor.html (invert the order, make direct bank transfer as the last option as that is the hardest). Also please link to the two crowd funding campaigns in the headings "Crowd Funding Round-2" and "Crowd Funding Round-1". Any ideas to make people notice the contribute link, especially in this season?

Current funding status: Received 534.44 USD (34,899.95 INR) from indiegogo.com for last campaign. We paid Anish 11431 INR (154 USD) for hosting charges (he has been advancing the payment). This is from March 2016 to September 2016. We also renewed poddery.com domain for 3 years for 26.40 USD. So we have about 354 USD left.

@praveenarimbrathod - sure I'll get to work on something square...

I did something in indian style - with something that could be seen as a Christmas tree that has mated with a lotus-flower. The text can be changes easily in Inkscape, so just tell me what you want. If you like it, just tell me whick sizes are needed, (ie. 1400x1400 px)

I think this should also be on the leftside menu, most of us let the Poddery cookie stay where other cookies must go :) So you mostly see the stream-page. It is not at all to much to ask for some donations. It could even be there permanently. I would not mind doing new designs for the changing seasons.

Unintentional it could also be Cthulhu...

Forgot to do this: @praveenarimbrathod

Hey, the image is not really an svg. just a high res. bitmap with the text. I can share the bitmap and then others can put text on it.

As for the new height:width ratio I will make it right away. But could you suggest the text. I would like to space and edit the text itself so it looks better.

Here is the bitmap in double size. 880 x 1408 px. ups... is it a landscape format?

OK. Praveen @praveenarimbrathod

1. I make a new one for the campaign banner. Is it ok with "Christmas fund-raiser," or could there be a better text?

2. I think that we should also have one directly at the menu. People should see it, so they at least consider donating. It's only fair. I don't know what you say, but I can make one fast using the same image and text.
