Thanks for being a member!


How do I become a member?

It's easy: click on the Become a Member button in the bottom right of every page on our site, or choose the option when you see the pop-up.

Why should I become a member?

You don't have at all! But doing so allows you to access every page on our site whenever you like. All you need to do is add your name and email address. You also automatically agree to receive our newsletter. If you'd rather not, then click the unsubscribe button when you receive the newsletter confirmation.

I'm already a newsletter subscriber, do I need to do anything?

Members are automatically added to the newsletter list, but some people will sign up to our newsletter separately or will have signed up before we created the membership. If that's the case, you can also create a membership using the same email address. That way you won't get the newsletter twice.

Does it cost anything to be a  member?

No. It doesn't. It is time consuming and costly to produce the content on this site, so we do have some paid 'supporter' options that you'll see the first time you sign up. If you like what we do then please go ahead and support us with a one-off payment or become a monthly subscriber. We'll also be adding some member perks exclusive to paid subscribers very soon.

How can I manage my membership?

1. To log out:
Click on the 'My Account' button in the bottom of the screen and it will open a pop-up with a logout button.

2. To change your details
Including your name or email address, click on the 'My Account' button in the bottom of the screen and it will open a pop-up. Go to your profile and follow the instructions.

3. Cancel a paid subscription
Click on the 'My Account' button in the bottom of the screen and it will open a pop-up. Click 'Plans' and it will take you to a Stripe page where you can canel your plan. But we're sorry to see you go :(

How do I sign up to your newsletter?

You can either just go ahead and create a membership (you'll be automatically added and can unscribe at any time) or go to our contact page (link below) and click the button to receive our newsletter.
