The most awesome thing about making Blue Milk Special is our fans. Recently we put together a fund raising campaign through GoFundMe to try and cover our expenses for a massive upgrade for our website. The upgrade is necessary for the security of the site after ComicPress is no longer being supported and vulnerable to hackers. Not everyone has money they can contribute to help BMS, and in the case of T. Gatto, he has mailed us a set of 12 vintage Star Wars Kenner action figures from 1977 to sell on eBay so that the sale can go towards our goal!

It’s hard to express how incredibly kind this act is, and those of everyone who have made sacrifices to help us keep going. T’s note to me simply stated “Thanks for helping to make my childhood memories fun again. May the Forciness be with you!”

The auction ends on Sunday 15th, December. There is a reserve that will need to be met, but we hope that in the spirit of the donation to Blue Milk Special through this auction that people will help spread the word and help bring as many bidders to the table as possible. Christmas is only a little over a month away and this is a piece of 1977 Star Wars history that you can add to your shelf, or the shelf of a loved one.

The auction includes the following original 1977 figures: Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C3PO, R2D2, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Jawa, Tusken Raiders, Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, Imperial Guy, as well as Boba Fett. Original accessories and capes included. See auction for details! Spread the word and help BMS out!

Meanwhile, we continue to try to raise funds to help the website. We are more than halfway toward achieving our extended goal! Please check out the information below and think about contributing. Thanks!

NEW BMS WEBSITE GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN UPDATE

If you had not yet been able to pitch in and would still like to, we are trying to raise as much of a bonus as possible which will go towards improving the design of the site, particularly the archive and navigation functionality as well as future maintenance, backups and emergency fixes.

How much room we have to grow the site will depend on the continued success of the New Blue Milk Special Websbite campaign at GoFundMe. So, if you can help out, that is fantastic. If you can’t, that’s fine. I know a lot of people are not in a great situation at the moment. Neither are we. Thanks for reading BMS and shooting us your emails and leaving your comments. They are a huge motivation for both of us.
