There is a note about this on the page about donating when broke, but I wanted to let everyone here know about the partnership with goodsearch.com
When you go to the website and put in Office of Letters and Light as your charity, every search you do will donate $.01 to NaNoWriMo and ScriptFrenzy. Think about how many searches you do a day - 10? 20? I probably do about 50, which means in a month I can earn the OLL $15. You can even install goodsearch to most browsers and search from the bar. Awesome, right?
Need to do some research? Use goodsearch for all of your research queries this month. Then you're researching for your novel *and* paying for the ability to do this next year. Sweet!
Even if you just switch for November, it'll make a big difference to the event!
Happy Novelling!

Thanks for the post, TSEdiot. I switched my search toolbar to Goodsearch in Mozilla Firefox and it took me less than a minute to do it. If every NaNoWriMo participant goodsearched for the cause once a day during November, that would be $30,000 for the Office of Letters and Light by the end of the month! Do the math. If you want to keep having a website to write on, do what you can!

Don't forget - GoodSearch is an excellent way to donate when you're broke. And even if you aren't broke.
