The problem with using paid memberships is that there needs to be something worth putting the money down for. And there just isn't the content here for that. One idea that I have seen work is a donation meter. Have a monthly goal, with a list of who has donated how much. I do like the calender idea though. Most (not all) website merchandise looks pretty tacky and is rather embarrassing to be seen with and im not sure how much people really make off that stuff. But one thing to keep in mind is that I don't think this place needs that much money. two reasons: 1) It is relatively small 2) I don't notice all that many ads
