The Fund The Daily Cartoonist campaign has 10 days left to meet the goal of $5,000. In my mind, this is the toughest stretch. Those who are regular readers or friends of the blog have already donated. This last stretch is convincing those who haven’t yet contributed that it’s worth it.
Let me recap what I’m working for – what you’re supporting with your contribution:
1. Redesign – This is more than just a lipstick and a pretty bow, Visually, Am am re-architecting the site for a better experience whether you’re visiting from the desktop, tablet or mobile phone. I’m also investing in better hosting and a CMS that has better scalability, security and performance.
2. Refocus – I’m simplifying the focus on of the blog to just Creators, Publishers, Issues, and Technology. I won?t be cutting back on my current ?beat? of print/newspaper based cartooning but expect the circle of creators and publishers to get bigger.
