For example, letting supporters know that their donation will help feed a family of four or send a child to school for a year is more powerful than simply asking for a specified amount of money. Tie dollars to something real. Associate the donation levels for your campaign or event with what the funds will provide. Ask, clearly.

Then Automattic, the company behind WordPress, purchased Disqus’ biggest competitor : Intense Debate. It has some little bells and whistles, like a widget for displaying recent comments in a sidebar (you can see it already in mine) and a Feed Flare for adding comment counts to FeedBurner RSS feeds.

Letting them subscribe to your site content through RSS feeds or email can help them ensure they’re getting the most-update information from your organization with ease and convenience. Most of the CMS tools we reviewed can support this, but surprisingly few allow you to moderate which of the items from that RSS feed are displayed.
