More than a few people have written to me to tell that Patreon limits pledges to only $1.
That isn’t so, by the way: according to Tech Support, who investigated it when I asked, you have the option of raising the pledge amount (the $1 is just a starting-point because they don’t deal with any amounts less than a dollar).
At any time, you can go back and change the amount, so if any of you want to do that, please do.
For those who’d prefer to make annual donations, Tech Support is looking into it.
