CharityBlog has been on a break
And has returned to trial the Storify concept, collating items of more general interest for a charity audience gained from regular trawling of social media networks, charity news and other web links. Roughly daily publishing, although stories may get further updates during the day, and possibly weekly specials such as on funding/fundraising. The precise content will no doubt evolve. We welcome your comments and suggestions on Storify, and CharityBlog more generally.
CharityBlog is part of VolResource, complementing the content on VoluntaryNews. The latter welcomes contributions of relevant practical news, which can be posted direct (after registration) or sent in for consideration.
Adverts and Privacy
This site features advertising provided by the Google AdWords service. You can add yours by registering with them and selecting our site as a target. We can also add your own banner ads direct, on by arrangement – please ask for more details. New February 2012: we have joined the Guardian Select service and will trial banner advertising via them.
Cookies are used by both Google and Guardian Select to provide their service, but no personally identifiable information is collected (at least by the latter). Guardian Select also uses Online Behavioural Advertising – BT. Most web browsers have settings to block or delete cookies, history etc. if you’d rather not participate (you are likely to get generic ads instead).
What this site was doing
CharityBlog was for more general material (less newsy than VoluntaryNews content), posing questions or expressing an opinion. Comments from visitors, potential for mini-blogs for charities. Items should be about or for the voluntary sector (which includes charities and community groups) in Britain or Ireland.
Logging in problems? (This section doesn’t apply at present but has been kept for reference and likely future return.) Most people won’t have any problems logging in, but there are a number of things which can stop you doing so:
- Note that username and password are case sensitive – if you registered using a capital letter (e.g. Fred), type it that way!
- Cookies must be enabled.
- Web browser software (Internet Explorer, Opera etc) often keep visited pages ‘cached’. You may need to clear this cache for corrections to work (especially after enabling cookies we find).
