Creating a unique 'blog' for crowdfunding 'investors'?



User: Ben L. 6 years ago
Making a film on a scientific project, already 2 years into production. About to start a crowdfunding to help finance more shooting, and post-production. The project is going into its climax phase of experiments this summer.

I'd like to be able to offer potential crowdfunders (who contribute a specific amount) access to a day-by-day blog related to the experiment.

I love the new blog function on EverWeb. Can anyone suggest a way I can make a blog that is accessible only by password, or by some unique access code, that I can give to crowdfunders who meet the criteria? Ideally not a third party setup that is awkward (and costly) to set up.

This will be a first for me, blogging, so I don't know about standard protocols and what-is-possible.

All ears,

Ben

If you create the blog as a separate project and upload it to the EverWeb server as a directory you can password protect it.

If you are publishing to another server, contact your host's support to find out how to password protect it. If your server uses Webshell as the file manager, this is easily done using the wizard.

Thank you Roddy,

And you telling me this, I am reminded I did something similar last year ... it's almost coming back to me. For a different reason. But with same result. I will go poking around on my server.

Very much appreciated,

Ben

You don't really have to password protect the blog. As long as there is no link to it from another website - and you prevent the search engines from indexing it - the odds a against anybody stumbling across it are about a zillion to one.

Insert this into the blog's sitewide head code box ...

<meta name="robots" content="no index">

... or into the head code box in the page inspector of any pages you don't want indexed.
