Full Re-opening Of SLG Further Delayed
Hi Bloggers.
I know you are all wondering what is going on since we announced that SLG came back online a few weeks ago. Well, here’s what’s up: we are still unable to re-open the site to existing and new users because we are still testing the functionality of the site with the new blog format, i.e. http://safelistgrande.com/your-blog-name/. We have to ensure that the system will stand up under varying conditions.
In addition, we have still not completed converting the old blogs into the new format. This process has been compounded by the fact that we have to focus on other critical areas at times and take a break from the re-formatting process.
It is our desire to be fully operational again within the next few weeks. We apologize for any inconvenience that has been caused but would like to remind you that the service we provide is free and as such no one gets paid to do what we have to do. As soon as we have completed the updating and testing processes, we will let you know.
FYI: As means to offset our operating expenses, the following 2 measures have been implemented:
(1) A Donation button has been placed on the main page, towards the bottom, of Safe List Grande. Kindly make donations as you see fit.
(2) AdSense ads have been added to all the themes in the system. We are not asking you to go crazy clicking on those ads since they are really meant for your readers.
A point to note too is that if over a reasonable period of time we do not see what we consider to be sufficient revenue coming from donations and AdSense ads to aid in offsetting our operations, we will have one of two options:
(a) Either we shut down the site or
(b) start charging membership fees (this would affect existing and new users). Such a fee, however, would be affordable and not a burden to users.
