How the heck does this Insta-Pledge thing work, anyway???

Filling out the three insta-pledge boxes will take you to a more detailed pledge page where you fill out additional information and choose the goodies you want.

When you make an online pledge to WFMU, the computer will immediately send you an acknowledgement, and after that, an actual human being at WFMU will examine your pledge and will e-mail you if any more information is needed.

WFMU uses a secure webserver, so you can pledge with a credit card right from the pledge form just as you would to buy stuff elsewhere on the Internet.

If you paid your online pledge with a credit card, that's all you need to do, but if you did not submit payment, no problem! We will then mail you a payment form by the post.

If you would like to pay your pledge via PayPal, then the pledge receipt you see after submitting your pledge will direct you to a PayPal page on which you can make your payment to WFMU. If you don't have a PayPal account, and you choose the PayPal option for payment, then you will be prompted to enter a secure credit card payment to WFMU. (But if you don't have a PayPal account, it is easier for us if you simply make a credit card payment on the WFMU pledge page.)

How do I add an Insta-Pledge banner to my own site?

You can copy some html code from this page and paste it into your site.

How do I add the Insta-Pledge banner to Wordpress and Blogger?

If you are using wordpress we reccomend installing the Raw Html Plugin.Once installed you can place the Insta-Plege code in between raw tags: [RAW]...[/RAW.

We are currently having trouble getting the Insta-Pledge code working properly on Blogger but check back here for updates.

What about Facebook?

Since Facebook does not allow you to paste any code onto your pages we have created a "Support WFMU" application. It will add a WFMU badge to your page as well as donate button. The "Support WFMU" Facebook application can be found here:

...and Twitter?

We've been asking people to add #wfmuthon to all their twitter posts about the wfmu marathon.


If this doesn't answer your questions, check our FAQ about the Marathon, or e-mail Joe.
