Are you saving for a new computer and would like some help from family and friends? If so, SponsorMe can help you run your campaign directly from your blog. It allows you to show people what your target is, how much you have saved and how much is outstanding. And if they decide to contribute, SponsorMe will collect details of their pledge and allow them to make a PayPal payment straight into your account. The plugin includes an administration interface where you can see your pledges, verify them once you receive the funds or delete them if they prove to be void. It also allows you to change the colours of your graph as well as all the details about what you are looking for sponsorship for. **New Feature** You can now accept pledges from users who do not have PayPal. If the user selects the “Cheque” option, you will need to contact them individually to arrange off-line sponsorship. The admin interface lets you keep track of people you need to contact and payments that need verification. THe plugin is still in development, so I’m adding new features almost every day. I look forward to hearing your comments and feedback, so if you would like to contribute, you can leave me a comment on my [Contact Page](http://www.u-g-h.com/index.php/contact/) Most information at: [Plugin Home Page](http://www.u-g-h.com/index.php/wordpress-plugins/wordpress-plugin-sponsorme/) ## Screenshots * [[ * SponsorMe graph in sidebar * [[ * Sponsorship Page * [[ * Administration interface ## Installation 1.
