IMPORTANT NOTICE
======================================================================
Conservablogs, the host for Ohio4Fred, has been going through a strong growth period and it became necessary for them to switch to another server. This is a necessary move, but it has caused a temporary problem at Ohio4Fred that I want you to be aware of. While they are making the server change I am not able to modify any Theme files, that includes any files in the sidebars.
When Fred announced on Thursday and became an official candidate, he had to change his website location. The problem arises when someone tries to make a contribution by selecting the button in the right sidebar. This will give a security warning because the new web location does not match the security certificate.
To avoid confusion until this can be corrected, if you want to make a contribution please do so at the SW Ohio4Fred site.
Conservablogs is working to get the new server up as soon as possible, but it will probably be Monday before I can make the required changes.
Thank you for your patience and understanding,
Tim
UPDATE - Problem resolved!
Thanks to Eric Odom and everyone at Conservablogs! They understood the problem that I had and did some special magic to allow me to make the needed changes to my sidebar. It is still going to be a while before the server conversion is complete, but I was able to make the critical changes thanks to the good people at Conservablogs. (There must be some FredHeads there)
I also want to thank Christa at SW Ohio4Fred for helping me out in the interim.
Thanks to “a little help from my friends”, we are once again able to have a working contribution link on Ohio4Fred.
Please take a moment and also visit Christa at the SW Ohio4Fred site, and thank her for her help while my link was broken.
Just as a point of explanation, when you select the contribution you are redirected to the Official Thompson site to process the contribution. The reason we would like you to contribute through one of the Ohio sites is because the campaign is tracking what areas the contributions are coming from, and we want Ohio to show up as a strong supporter.
The thought is that Fred will be more likely to visit areas that show strong support.
Please make a small contribution to Fred’s campaign, but more importantly, register on Ohio4Fred so that we can keep you informed about current information and so we can contact you if we need volunteers for local events.
