Win-Win with Amazon Associate
28 OCT 2011 | Posted in Amazon, business value, NFP, SEO, website | Author Alex McLachlanWe’ve just received our first payment as an Amazon Associate. It has to be said that the amount won’t have a major impact on IndigoBlue’s bottom line, but we don’t really count ourselves as a bookshop. We provide links to Amazon for books that we mention in blog posts or the subjects of book reviews, really to make it easier for our website users.

The open source CMS Drupal is being adopted by more and more NFP organisations.

24 AUG 2011 | Posted in cloud computing, hosting, Iris, NFP, security | Author Anthony FlackI recently attended a briefing at the offices of IRIS, where IRIS introduced their new hosting proposition which targets amongst others the Not For profit Sector.

Onsite Forums vs LinkedIn
18 JUL 2011 | Posted in communities of practice, LinkedIn, membership organisation, NFP, social media, website | Author Alex McLachlanFor many membership organisations, there are very good reasons for wanting forums on their own websites rather than using LinkedIn.
