Another end of month round-up of assorted bits and pieces I spotted during the last
few weeks and thought were interesting/handy, but haven’t had time to mention. Hope
you find them useful…

 [⌊Posthub advert. You create the campaign. We'll handle the postal journey. Get started at post-hub.co.uk.⌉](https://fundraising.co.uk/ads/posthub-20261007-300x250/)

 

Right at the start of the month, UK charity **[Arthritis Care](http://www.arthritiscare.org.uk/Home)**
went live with a new member recruitment campaign using email, direct mail, press,
online advertising and an **[online video diary site](http://www.arthritiscare.org.uk/peoplelikeus)**.
Great to see an organisation with a primarily older audience recognising the potential
to engage with them online – and doing so in such an engaging way.

 

A handy post on Michael Stein’s Nonprofit Internet Strategy blog reminds us of the
vital [**importance of online thank you pages**](http://michaelstein.typepad.com/michael_stein/2007/09/the-importance-.html)
and provides some tips to help make the most of them.

 

More great hints and tips, this time from Wild Apricot, relating to **[building a better blog](http://www.wildapricot.com/blogs/newsblog/archive/2007/10/02/building-a-better-blog-community.aspx)**.

 

A few more, from Seth Godin’s great blog, on **[how to create a great website](http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2007/10/how-to-create-1.html)**(
with thanks to my old Seattle colleague **[Jeff Brooks](http://www.donorpowerblog.com/donor_power_blog)**
for mentioning that one).

 

And finally, some **[Web 2.0 best practice guidelines](http://www.socialsignal.com/blog/alexandra-samuel/best-practices-for-non-profits-using-web-2-0)**
from Alex Samuel at Social Signal.
