I take it as you're begging for donations that SCratchmedia is not doing as well as expected.  Either that or you're just a money grabbing toe rag.
Afterall isn't this site basically an advert for your services and capabilities such as they are?  It seems that this is merely a way of getting your punters to pay for your self-publicity.  A little ripe don't you think? And just a little insulting.

Annoyed, I took a decision early on to spend 6 months creating this site and to offer the results free of charge. There's no question of *making* anyone pay.

I *invite* people to donate, under the time-honoured principle of shareware. I enjoy supporting other creative people through the same means. The donation mechanism is there if you want it, otherwise you're free to use the site anyway.

As for Scratchmedia, it's successful. This site has generated practically no income for the company, and that wasn't the point. And yes, it has been really useful for promoting my services to a very broad audience. I'm very very proud of that achievement.

Ben, you must be flattered, having a hate-fan.

Feel free to delete those comments, they're not informative at all and they detract from the usefulness of this site. (I garner that the point of this site is to be useful.)

I must have missed the 'begging' parts of the site somehow, which is surprising given the attention I have paid this site.  All I see is an open box where I can choose to make a donation if I wish.

Still, If I had been consigned to live in Dagenham I'd probably spend most of my time irrationally annoyed too.

The information I found on this site is priceless and well worthy of a donation. There are literally thousands of articles on web site design out there, but it is rare to find articles of such quality and practicality that balance usability and graphic design like the articles on this site. Thank you very much for the time you spent on this site! Please keep it up.
