<p><strong>Sustaining Membership Template</strong></p>
<p>We created a special <a href="http://secure.publicbroadcasting.net/demo/SustainingMember/pledge.pledgemain">sustaining membership template</a>.  The pledge levels on this form are listed in Monthly amounts, so donors choose an ongoing monthly amount instead of choosing the Annual total. This will make it clearer to see the ongoing monthly donation amount, without confusing it with the annual total.</p>
<p><strong>Form UI</strong></p>
<p>Improved premium selection, state drop down defaults to your state, new submit graphics, and more!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may have heard about the new option for syndicated programs in Composer Pro and Basic. We&#8217;re collecting playlists for syndicated programs for SoundExchange reporting, and with Pro, this also means you&#8217;ll also be able to display syndicated program playlists (for the programs that are currently providing them to us).</p>
<p>To accommodate this change, we updated the way the add program options work. We also did our best to make sure your existing syndicated programs are now marked properly, but we may have missed a few here and there.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.publicinteractive.com/pi/media/howto/programs.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>To make sure syndicated programs are entered correctly in your Program Guide, please check the following.</p>
<p><strong>Program </strong>drop down: This contains a list of all programs currently in use on your program guide. Syndicated programs are listed in <span style="color: #ff0000;">red</span>, see below.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.publicinteractive.com/pi/media/howto/program-menu.png" alt="" width="419" height="152" /></p>
<p>If a program is syndicated, but not listed in red, then Composer doesn&#8217;t know it&#8217;s supposed to be a syndicated program. You&#8217;ll need to edit or delete (in this case, it&#8217;s okay to delete) that entry.</p>
<ul>
<li>Choose edit recurring program.</li>
<li>In the first<strong> Program drop down</strong>, choose &#8220;new program&#8221;</li>
<li>In the second &#8220;<strong>Add a Syndicated Program</strong>&#8221; drop down, choose the syndicated program.</li>
<li>The third field will auto fill with the <strong>syndicated program display name</strong>. If you&#8217;d like to edit that, e.g. change C24 to Classical 24, you may do so here.<img src="http://www.publicinteractive.com/pi/media/howto/program-menu-synd.png" alt="" width="427" height="171" /></li>
</ul>
<p>Let us know if you have more questions!</p>
