We'll get by with a little help from our friends
March 5, 2011
Well, here we are. Today marks the 7 year anniversary of the Archives in Cowtown and thus we are up
for renewal on our domain and web hosting. Times are a little tougher than normal this year so, even
though I never wanted to do this, I'm going to ask for some help.
I have plenty in store over the next year for the AiC. I'm hoping to roll out version 2.0 with
many, many upgrades. Of course none of that will matter if I can't make the renewal fee. It's a
relatively small fee ($150), compared to most, so hopefully we can knock it out and move on.
So if you like the site and are ready for the great things that are coming down the line, feel free
to help me out via PayPal, or if you'd prefer another method, shoot me an email and we can work
out the details: DMBTex10101 [at] archivesincowtown [dot] com.
