New Donation Button

5/2/2012

Hey, what's that little button?

You may have started seeing this button more and more often on QB:

Well, you know why it's there: QB's asking for donations (please, please, please). But why do we need your help?

QB is run entirely by college students and recent grads--poor young people with big dreams. It costs money to run a website. Not only do we have to pay for our domain name, we also pay for an account with the website we use to edit our website. That's not to mention the money we pay for other online tools or even the various equipment we use to produce QB content, from digital cameras to scanners.

Then there's also the print work we do, and print work is expensive. Each copy of Quail Bell Express costs nearly $3 to print. We also print flyers for our events (like Imagimania!) and just general promotional materials, too.

As for our Photo Tales and videos? Those involve doing hair, make-up, getting costumes (which we can't always borrow from stores), and feeding our crew.

These are just a few of the many costs associated with running QB. Please consider that as you visit our website and think about how you can help. We appreciate donations of all sizes. If you have other ideas for how to help us, please contact us.

Thank you so much for your time and extra thanks if you decide to donate.

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.

Blog Automation Setup

SOLAR's 'Blog Automation' feature automatically pulls content from your blog and displays it on other parts of your site. In order to activate this feature, simply add the URL of your blog, and the URL of 3 categories from your blog, to the input boxes below.
