So you wanna help support the Lair and the rest of the Empire? Bless you, first of all. Secondly, there are several different ways:
This is, of course, the best way to support me, as it allows me to actually keep my fridge stocked with the stuff I need to not waste away into a skeleton. :)
If you'd like to donate money, just use this button to transfer funds to me via PayPal:
Of course, shopping at the official Lair Store is one of the best and easiest ways to slide some money my way while scoring some cool stuff for yourself. It's currently got nearly 80 different items to choose from, so you're bound to find something you'll want. Just in time for the holidays, too!
Please note that gift certificates from the following sites also work quite well.
If you're just itching to buy me something that I'd like (such as a book or a DVD), you can do so by using my "customized" Amazon.com wish list here (I use that page to keep track of what I want because I can organize that a hell of a lot better than Amazon.com would ordinarily allow me).
The best part of you buying me stuff in that manner is that I'll earn 5-15% of what the price is, depending on how you purchase it; if, when you click the link, you immediately click the "add to cart" link, I get the full 15%, but if you do anything else, such as clicking on the name and then adding it to your cart, I only get 5%.
Basically, just let me know that you want to order something for me via an email (please put the appropriate subject in it) and I'll give you the address that you should have it sent to. Make sure you tell me what it is, since I order stuff for myself through those links, and I don't want to order something that you've decided to get me.
ThinkGeek.com is the best place to get cool geeky stuff (yes, I realize how bizarre the concept of "cool geeky" anything is). Anyway, I maintain a wish list on their site that has everything that I'm wanting from them. You certainly don't have to purchase everything on the list, its just there for my personal reference.
If you shop on Amazon.com, you can help me out just by doing what you already do! Just use this link whenever you go to Amazon.com (if you have a bookmark for the site, just change the address to this one). That's all you have to do! Amazon.com will keep track of you as being from my site, and I'll get a cool 5% of what you order.
And don't worry, I can't tell who orders what, so I'll have no idea if you ordered Girls Gone Wild or not.
This is, by far, the easiest way to support the Empire. Here's what to do...
If you have a website, I'd love for you to link to EVula.com. Of course, if you want to link to my other sites (evula.net, evula.org, ev-nova.net), by all means, do so, just keep in mind that the "preferred" one is EVula.com.
Same rules apply to board signatures as apply to websites; EVula.com is preferred, but feel free to link to the others, too.
However... I do have some preferences to how they are displayed. Here are my preferred way for them to be linked to:
It should be noted that making every "e" in your existing signature a link to EVula.com is considered by many people to be really lame and very stupid; I'm not one of those people, but I do think it's rather ugly.
