Earlier today I was alerted by a friend to the fact that the ChipIn Widget was malfunctioning in a way neither she nor I had ever seen before. When one clicked out it, one got an alert saying the connection was not trusted and then all sorts of increasingly strident warning information after that. I checked and the same thing happened to me.
I deleted the old widget and removed it from the blog. I made a brand new one and tried again--only to have the exact same thing happen. Clearly something is very wrong at ChipIn. So, I deleted the new widget and closed the current donation deal at ChipIn as neither one could be trusted to work properly.
As you can see over to the left, I have moved up the standard PAYPAL donation button that has worked day in and day out on the blog. I have tested it several times today and at this point everything still seems fine with it. So, if you would like to make a donation I believe you can safely do so.
As always, if you would prefer not to use PAYPAL---and many folks feel that way including me---by all means drop me an e-mail at kevinrtipple@verizon.net and I will gladly provide our home mailing address.
Thank you again on behalf of all of us for all of your continuing support. Hopefully the recent news on Sandi that the chemo has started working a little bit and the thyroid is not a new problem means there is hope regarding her cancer fight.
I keep thinking that if we can hang in just a little bit longer things have to get better.
Kevin
