December: season of donations, we should add a prominent notice on the homepage/sidebar
@julius2 suggested this,
Something like: "Life without Poddery.com? Please Donate."
Ideas? @abhijithb21 can you update the front page?

Great work you guys. All looks really good and I completely agree with Jakob that it is on left side and permanent or semi-permanent. It is a gentle reminder that Poddery is not free (as in beer).

Hi everyone,
We got our first paypal Germany contribution today, a recurring monthly donation of 1EUR from France, so 12EUR/year. Every bit helps! It hasn't actually put in money yet but is set up for automatic monthly payment,
I wrote a thank you note, I assumed that would be nice, text below. Suggestions for future notes welcome, or if something like below is good:
Hi Jean-Luc,
Thank you for your contribution. From all of the people behind Poddery.com
Happy Holidays!

1st Quarter "take" from Poddery PayPal account. Overwhelming, Activity from start of account to 3/31 attached. As you can see Our French/Spanish connection donor quit after 2 "contributions".
What I don't understand is after all the discussion about this there is STILL no link on each user's LeftSide bar on stream page for making contributions, at least not on mine. Why hasn't that been done?

Hi all,
I've decided to leave poddery diaspora. Actually diaspora in general. I just find social media not my cup of tea I've decided.
The poddery paypal account I set up for donations, I've closed. So someone will need to remove the link to that paypal account if it is still used somewhere, otherwise any clicks on the link should just fail.
Attached is a screen shot of the "proceeds" from that account, 1.26EUR.
If you want it send me an email at Juuliuus@me.com otherwise I will spend it on a pack of gum.
Leaving Poddery is not a critic, you guys are great! I'm just tired of social media.
