My fellow Xealots
I'm willing to investigate setting up a subscription WebXealot Newsletter and with a little help from our more technical Xealots, a new independent XaraXone. As I mentioned in another thread, Xara Ltd. will continue to fund the Trompe L'Oeil Room tutorials and has volunteered to provide free server space on their new server. But your editor and webmaster (that's me) needs some compensation so I can afford the enormous feed bill for the five cats, finch and canary.
But first I need to know how many readers would be interested in subscribing and how much you would be willing to pay per month on a six month or one year subscription. (Remember, you get what you pay for [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]
Please only vote once (unless you have decided to pay more). If it looks as though there is enough support, I'll start figuring out how to get this off the ground.

Are choices in your poll per Year or per Month?
-
it says per month. I think the range is fair, because this is similar to a magazine subscription. Personally I'm interested to see what comes of this. I think it is a great idea. I'd rather see the Street Performers Protocol tested, but that's just because I like good experiments...

I see the point of the street performer. If you set up a subscription the general public is kept out. Really, nobody is going to throw you off the planet if you make $30.00 off every xara x sold on the xaraxone. that would be worth 6 months subscription... and I'm sure xara will have yearly upgrades from now on if they want to compete. As you have stated before the real advantage of xara is the fact that you can get all this help on the xaraxone.

I'm sure like many other forum users I missed your original posting of this poll, and had to search through old postings to find it. I think you ought to make it a top priority posting such that it sits on top of the forum listings so no one misses it

If I can figure out how to keep it at the top, I will. In theory, it's possible.

The low tech way is to add a Hello World message, like this one.

You can't tell me that there are only 62 people out there who have gained from Garry's tutorials and help! The techniques he has taught me are invaluable and the tutorials have definately shortened the learning curve for me.

I intended to locate this thread and "up" it (aka "hello world") when I got into this forum this morning. Thanks for getting here first. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Gary, I hope you are going to mention this in your WebXealot this month. Maybe there are people out there who only tune in on the 15th for the new Xealot and don't bother with forums.

Ups-a-daisy
Come on, guys. In this election, your vote really does count!
-
You have to know at least half of those $5 votes would go ahead and pay the ten or fifteen bucks if that's the way it went.

Picked up another vote, so I guess it's worth another 'up'
-
-
Any more votes lurking out there? Any refugees from the US presidential election? Anyone get in the wrong ballot box? :-)
-
And the numbers continue to edge upward, so here's another little push. :-)
-
For those people that would like to have Gary continue the fantastic help that he and others have given to us over the years, I think that the price range given is not expensive at all and would be well worth it.
I know many graphic designers and they would rather spend any time and effort on normal work that would get them an expected fee rather than help others for a few dimes to rub together. These designers don't even have one family member to feed, let alone the small collection that has adopted Gary. So vote and support someone who does not sell vaporware like an unnamed magazine that screwed so many subscribers and didn't deliver.
At least consider the price of bird food, it's astronomical! Give the guy the support that he's given all of us.

Back to the top til the count is DONE.
