I've put together a map of all the DIA clients nationwide. They appear as pink markers. With Zeemaps, you can filter what is shown by whose account it is. So, for example, if you click on "search," you can select different criteria search for all accounts in New York, or all accounts owned my Charles Lenchner, etc. The green stars on blue circles indicate that there are multiple clients in the area, and the pink markers indicate a single client.

Don't put it off another day -- register now!

Did we mention that you're running out of time to register?

Last-minute shoppers, the June 16 deadline for registration is fast approaching.

Maybe you've been busy. Haven't had time yet. Been waiting on a few things to fall into place. We've all been there.

But the calendar has rolled over to June and space is limited, so now's the time to make the time to register.

Salsa automatically generates a secure URL for pages involving monetary transactions - donations, paid events, storefronts, etc.  However, just because those pages' URLs begin with "https://" doesn't mean they are secure - if you are loading nonsecure files or images anywhere on the "secure" page, the whole page will become nonsecure.  This manifests through a "broken" lock symbol in Firefox, and through pop-ups or other warnings in IE. You don't want potential donors or supporters scared away because they think their transactions won't be secure - so what you can do?

1.  Find out which template your nonsecure-soon-to-be-secure page is using.  You can do this by looking at  the number after the /t/ in the page's URL - this is the template key - or checking  which template is highlighted on Step 1 of your page creation workflow.  If no template is highlighted or there is no /t/ in your URL, you're using your site's default template. To see a list of your templates, go to dashboard -> manage templates.

It's here! In the spirit of providing the best learning opportunities, networking possibilities and progressive leadership for 2008 and beyond, we've been working hard on preparing our first ever community conference.

We're talking two days of hands-on, interactive training from DemocracyInAction staff and your colleagues in other member organizations!

The conference will take place in Washington, D.C. on June 26-27th at the Hotel Palomar. If you haven't checked the location out yet, it's a sustainably developed hotel in the heart of Dupont Circle with fabulous conference space (think windows in every room) and delicious meal plans (vegans and veggies, rejoice!)

We dropped our last intermittent e-mail newsletter a couple weeks ago, and between the reminder of the upcoming user conference and the introductions of all our new staff members ... we reckoned we'd go put them online.

You'll find it living on our newsletter signup box on the sidebar, too.

Save the date and watch for updates: June 26-27 in Washington D.C., at the Hotel Palomar we'll be hosting our first user conference.

A lot's been happening in the year since we rolled out Salsa, both in the toolset and in the space, so there'll be plenty to talk about.

We'll do some tools features, both old standbys and the new toys that seem to roll out every day; we'll do some strategy training and best practices; we'll do a lot of peer learning because there are much smarter people than us doing all kinds of innovative things; we'll have no shortage of socializing, networking, and general merrymaking with the fantastic circle of progressive activists using Salsa; and we'll learn from each other where we should be headed next.

The agenda is in a developmental stage, so if you've got something you're dying to see happen, drop it in the comments here or drop one of us a line.
