I'd really like to see Habitat for Humanity International on the charity list. http://www.habitat.org/

why has the themometre gone back to the beginning but the polls haven't changed? xx
--Yeah, this is what of the side effects of having monthly polls (as opposed to weekly polls). We raise money on a monthly basis. But the polls end on Sundays, which aren't always in line with the last day of the month. I'm sorry it's so confusing; we're hoping to change a lot of these annoyances in the next month or so. --Syed

Is there any way to change the animated ads? They make the site take so long to upload and so unwieldy that I am about to have to stop using it.
--Unfortunately, those ads are what pay for the donations every month...so they are sort here to stay (unless we find another ad network to work with). I understand if it's too long of a load-time for you, but if that's the case, could I ask you to just place Search Kindly as your secondary tab:
1) There is an easier way to get multiple tabs on IE7
Sofia is absolutely correct about this. My directions for making Search Kindly your second home page were actually a bit convoluted. Basically, all you have to do is hit Enter after the first address and then paste in the Search Kindly address. However, this only applies--as far as I know--to Internet Explorer 7.
Step 1. Open a browser with Internet Explorer 7
Step 2. Go to the top menu bar and click on Tools
Step 3. Go all the way down the list and click on Internet Options
Step 4. On the first tab there should be a text box that shows the address of your current home page
Step 5. Place the cursor after the address of your home page and then hit Enter; in Firefox you will have to type this: |
Step 6. A new line should appear. Now type searchkindly.org
Step 7. Click Apply and then Ok.
Your are done. You should now be able to load up two tabs for each browser that you open and then second tab will be Search Kindly.
Hope that helps. I wish there was something else that we could do. Actually, there is, but it won't be up and running till the new site is complete. --Syed

Please consider adding Partners in Health (http://www.pih.org) and Shoulder to Shoulder (http://www.shouldertoshoulder.org/)to your list of charities. Thank you.
--I'm pretty sure that Partners in Health is already on the list. Shoulder to Shoulder, though, is not--so I'll make sure it gets passed on to Sofia. --Syed

According to numerous reports from organizations such as the UN and CIA, there are more people in slavery in the world today than the total number of slaves brought from Africa during the entire 400 years of the trans-atlantic slave trade. I'd like to recommend the charity International Justice Mission, which works at prosecuting perpetrators of this crime and freeing the slaves working all over the world.
