At the moment I am taking PayPal and BitCoin. I want to add more payment options as soon as possible but there are few payment processors that support 'pay what you feel' models, they all require actual 'products'. You may also notice some Amazon referral links to items I am reading / watching for research. Everything is welcome and all helps.\n\n### Trello / Production update blocks\nYou will now notice a small block in the bottom left that shows the latest Trello cards I have moved to 'done' for the relevant project. I used a customised version of the [Trello Views Backend module](https://www.drupal.org/project/trello_views_backend) and [Trello](https://www.drupal.org/project/trello) module. A bonus of setting this up means that I don't have to mention every single update I make in blog posts and it ensures that I put all tasks to do into Trello. In the future I may add recent git commits, but I'm not sure if that's necessary.\n\n### Sidebar tweaks\nAs a consequence of adding several blocks to the main sidebar I decided to tidy its width and size. It's now much tidier, but still needs some more work.\n\n### Article pages\nFor some reason, article titles were missing on page layouts, so I brought them back and tweaked the layouts of other fields to fit.\n\n### Favicons\nThe Chip Shop and Gregarious Mammal websites now have favicons! Bow to their awesomeness.\n\n### Mailing list blocks\nYou can sign up to mailing lists! I don't think that needs any more explanation, but does mean I need to start writing some email newsletters.\n\n### The Lean Traveller merged into Gregarious Mammal\nFor various reasons (some to be announced in my next blog post) I decided to merge the Lean Traveller site / blog into the Gregarious Mammal site as a writing section only. I came to the conclusion that at this point the blog is just a blog and maintaining a second site was a waist of my time. This way I can focus on the content and polishing the main Gregarious Mammal site instead of another (similar) site.","links":[],"fields":{}}
