Welcome to the new Justgiving blog

Welcome to our new look Justgiving blog.  We've re-vamped our blog to bring you more features, colour, information and in true Justgiving style - make it easier to use.

This blog is designed for people who use Justgiving to build personal fundraising pages and require support in maximising online donations. If you work for one of our charity members, please visit our charity blog where you'll find useful service updates and case studies .

So here it is - the Justgiving blog.  Take a look at the categories we'll be posting against on the left hand side. Fundraiser of the month profiles fundraisers who have raised substantial amounts of money for charity; Inspiration for fundraisers provides you with useful hints and tips on how to raise more money online; New on Justgiving updates you on the new features we're working on to make Justgiving even easier; and News from JG Towers is where we'll ramble on about anything that interests us or makes us laugh.

Furthermore, access other fundraisers' blogs via the links on the right hand side.

So have a look around and add comments to our posts. If you think we could do better, give me a shout at james.casey@justgiving.com

Thanks

Enjoy your new blog home. I hope it's successful in helping charity fundraisers. I look forward to dropping in from time to time.

Great stuff. Looks spiffy. I'll be keeping an eye on the "New on JustGiving" section especially. I'm hoping to see a bit of script be made availble so I can show my fund Thermometer on my site dynamically, rather than the manual hack I have now. A few choices of graphics and orientations would be great too.

Hi,
I am one week away from doing a tandem skydive for the 'brain and spine foundation'. This was to be a 60th birthday treat next year just for the fun of it, plus its something I said I would do before I was 60. News recently about my Daughter has spurred me on to do it now and for the charity that that is very close to my family at this time. I can't wait, and if you look at my just giving page you will see my Grandson Harry showing me how to do it!!http://www.justgiving.com/suebeachskydive
