"Butts In The Seats" Reviews Blogging White Paper

Joe at the "Butts In The Seats" blog wrote a nice piece about my new white paper, "Embracing Blogs: A New Blueprint for Promoting Dance on the Internet".

Joe pointed out one of limitations of my paper:

The only problem I saw with his paper was that the need to have donations and other transactions pass through a secure server wasn't mentioned. If you are a novice at blogs, you probably need to know that as well.

No question that there are important issues to address regarding secure e-commerce transactions before soliciting funds online. What I had in mind, although I didn't say this in my paper, was that dance companies would probably use third-aparty applications to do the actual collection and processing of donations. This is an important topic to cover in the future and I'd like to learn more about how dance and other arts organizations are collecting contributions online.

I'm not completely familiar with the technological issues but wouldn't somthing like Paypal take care of these questions?

Rachel,

You're definitely right. PayPal is probably easiest way and many people already have PayPal accounts. I just did quick search on Google for "dance donation paypal" and there are a lot of organizations that already do this.
