Beta Testing MoJo

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


BETA TESTING MOJO….Next week (we hope!) we’ll be relaunching MotherJones.com. Gone will be the cluttered layout that you see here and the clunky code that we deal with. If you’d like to take a sneak peek, and along the way help us with load testing and bug targeting, go to http://www.motherjones.com. The login is mojo and the password is fearless (all lower case). Once you’re in the site, you can read about why we did what we did, poke around, register and pimp out your profile, etc. Please bear in mind, however, that:

  1. Your username will stay valid after the new site launches, so choose wisely….

  2. The content is several weeks old and is there for testing purposes only. Don’t worry, we’ll get the latest articles and all the comments moved over when we launch.

  3. Comments you leave on the beta site will be overwritten when we switch over. Please do leave comments and try out the discussion system, just remember that if you’ve written any great pearls of wisdom, you should save a copy elsewhere.

  4. Any questions, bug reports, or general input about the site, please leave a comment on our inaugural blog post, or email us at web-feedback@motherjones.com.

We’re eager to hear what you have to say. (And yes, we know it’s slow, we’re running compression programs….)

We've never been very good at being conservative.

And usually, that serves us well in doing the ambitious, hard-hitting journalism that you turn to Mother Jones for. But it also means we can't afford to come up short when it comes to scratching together the funds it takes to keep our team firing on all cylinders, and the truth is, we finished our budgeting cycle on June 30 about $100,000 short of our online goal.

This is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell, as our namesake would tell us to do, for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability has a chance at the polls and in the press. If you value our reporting and you can right now, please help us dig out of the $100,000 hole we're starting our new budgeting cycle in with an always-needed and always-appreciated donation today.
