After hurriedly signing up for a hostican contract and waiting for it to go through yesterday, I got up today to find a forwarded email from Cathy at the North Shore Women's Centre containing these words:
"Thank you for contacting HostICan Verifications.
It seems your order didn't quite process correctly. Please can you provide me with your domain name for your account, so I may get it setup? Sorry for the inconvenience."
Cathy has since replied but it looks unlikely that we will be able to change their website by 6pm tonight. Luckily the new website does have a temporary home at www.screengraffiti.com/digitalfix/ thanks to Robbie adopting it onto his website. This means that we can start getting people using the forum before the challenge is even over. However, the badge won't be able to be disseminated as it would link to the wrong website. -sigh-
Also, as we have spent all our time and efforts sorting out this hosting business and the sign-up process for hostican, we have had to sideline signing up to paypal. However, it is a simple process once approval is gotten from the trustees and I think that though the centre did not get a donations button from us in the Challenge, they have learnt enough about it to achieve that themselves in the coming weeks.
In the future, we will endeavour to help them go even further, by trying to set up a system where not only can people sign up for courses through the website, but they may also pay the fees through paypal, making everything available online. This would save the North Shore Women's Centre a lot of time sorting out enrolments.
