This site is made and run by a fan.
I don’t feel it is right to post about my financials here but I am rather poor (full time carer for my disabled wife). I do a small-time webdesign “business” for a few extra pennies. The Kipper website is one of two “folly” websites I run. Initially it had adverts on it to make it viable which I took off as they are annoying. That means the cost comes down to me and any donations received. I’ve often thought of deleting the Kipper site (due to cost), but I can’t do it. The website is for the fans and it is wrong of me to take it away.
Why donate and what is it for? Basically the website is hosted on a host that costs money. The domain name KipperFamily.co.uk costs some money. Looking after the site is a time thing also (I don’t have a lot of spare time). Yes, I do like the Kippers but mainly, once this site was created, it’s not for me but for you, the visitor. The site has is a place for fans to find Kipper info. When I get a donation it proves to me that people want the website, but that I am justified in the site existing and spending time working on it. It’s not for profit, which is just as well, as there isn’t any!
ADVERTS: I did have adverts on the site which I have now removed. So the only support is from people who donate to costs. The adverts were annoying and ruined the look of the site.
How to donate to website costs:
- PayPal button (they take commission)
- PayPal direct to email (they don’t take commission)
- Cheque (does anyone have those now?)
- Bank transfer
PayPal donate button (they take commission):
Please note: it will say you are sending to “T-Media”, that is my wife’s PayPal name, TyLean (ie T). After you may see a cryptic message about a Christmas album, this is not a Kipper one! (this is a project of hers not related to Kippers but PayPal is a simple beast)
PayPal direct to email (no commission taken):
You can also donate by PayPal to my wifes account via email address: tyleantuijl@gmail.com (you just goto PayPal and send money to that email address) it’s better to send it as a personal transfer, not a service or business one as PayPal take silly commission.
