Apologies for the delay, but we’d like to thank everyone who helped with the February Fundraiser. It ran from Mid February to early March, and we reached our goal last week.
We are still waiting on a few promised checks that got us there, but we expect them in the next few days.
So … THANK YOU!
Your generous response is humbling, and we greatly appreciate your voluntary contributions. The next step is nailing down our webmistress to get some of the modifications you’ve helped fund implemented. We also need to nail down the retired guy who is working to elevate several other projects, but this is still a hobby for him as well, and life keeps getting in the way [Yes, that would be me, folks…sigh -Skip]
‘Grok App development was idled and will need to get rebooted. As a mobile platform, it should have a less pervasive ad experience (which I, like you, do not love). It will also allow us (I want ) to offer an ad-free experience for subscribers on phones and tablets (details and viability are still on the drawing board).
I also want an ad-free browser version for subscribers, but that is down the road a bit, and it may have to wait for the next site-wide renovation.
The improved search feature is in the debate stage – as in what we can do with the WordPress environment in which we live, but that will be sooner rather than later.
We are also working on all the numerous broken image links that frequently end at 404 not found errors – a situation we facilitated and need to rectify.
There is also some backend stuff that needs to be addressed and requires the paid services of tech professionals.
Your donations will help offset some of those costs, and (again) we appreciate the help, the support, and as always, thank you so much for reading GraniteGrok.com.
