How to subscribe 137

DK on Pittsburgh Sports is a members-only site, offering prices well below similar such outlets, as well as three subscription levels for whatever best suits you:

  • ONE MONTH, $4: This is for the reader who prefers to poke around for a while and see what’s here.
  • ONE YEAR, $24: This is half the above cost, at $2 per month.
  • THREE YEARS, $54: By far the best value at $1.50 per month. Plus, anyone who buys a three-year subscription absolutely will be bought a cup of coffee at some point. Even if you don’t live in Pittsburgh. Or Winnipeg.

All subscriptions are handled by PayPal, the same mechanism you use to buy/sell stuff on eBay. In the event you’re new to PayPal, it’s pretty simple stuff. It works with credit cards, your bank account, pretty much anything, and it’s fully guaranteed worldwide. There’s also an option with the three-year plan to simply use the credit card, no PayPal at all.

Subscription Options

Monthly

Unlimited Posts

$4.00 every month (recurring)

Annual pass

Unlimited Posts

$24.00 every year (recurring)

Lunatic level

Unlimited Posts

$54.00 every 3 years

    Dejan,
    Best of luck on your new site. I can’t wait to read it.
    Annette

    1. Jim S. says:

      I’m hoping we’ll eventually be able to comment directly on columns, and reply directly to other commenters.

      Also, will we have to get an email link in order to log in each time? Seems cumbersome.

      1. DK's Wife says:

        Only the fist time, Jim. Just ignore the login when you visit next time. Navigate the page freely, not login, no password. It will get better. Promise!

      2. Jim S. says:

        Thanks, Mrs. K!

  2. cinkis says:

    Just bought a 3-year subscription! (I love a bargain!) Can’t wait until the launch on Wednesday!

  3. Mark Beall says:

    In for a year. Hooray!

  4. @steelersnasty says:

    I think I am logged in? Not sure. Doesn’t seem to be a registration process.

    So looking forward to this!

    1. DK's Wife says:

      Use the LOGIN tab, enter you email and check the link. You only need to do this one time. Future visits, you are automatically in. Ignore login, no password. Just have fun reading.

  5. A Duran says:

    Just signed up for monthly. How will we receive our login information? Thank you!

    1. DK's Wife says:

      Use the LOGIN tab, enter you email and check the link. You only need to do this one time. Future visits, you are automatically in. Ignore login, no password. Just have fun reading.

      1. john says:

        DK,
        Signed up for yr plan and not getting an email to link in? Signed up yesterday? Does it take a day or so to process?
        Thanks and good luck!

  6. Skip says:

    DK – I’m proud to support your new endeavor. $54 for unlimited access to 3 years of your thought-provoking coverage of Pittsburgh sports is money well-spent.

    Now I just need to figure out how to insert my avatar…

  7. d.h.moore says:

    Just bought in, no questions asked. Keep up the excellent work, DK.

  8. Looking Good Dejan…. proud of you.. look forward to reading your material “unleashed”…. hope to catch up soon… FV #VESLA360

  9. steelerfan9598 says:

    Considering I basically missed you the whole time you were on vacation, I guess I should pay up. Lol

  10. mackenziesu says:

    Looks great so far. I’m looking forward to the launch and the stories that follow.

  11. jeb7524 says:

    Is there better in Pittsburgh? I don’t think so. And you know what? DK is the only guy I pay to read, so I’m not sure there’s better anywhere!

  12. jtusk64 says:

    Well, DK, that’s another 3 years of reading ahead of me…now all I have to do is wait for the translation from Cyrillic!

  13. Randy says:

    Subscription…bought!!!
    Can’t wait for the site to launch tomorrow!

  14. Bob from the Heights says:

    Dejan, best of luck from a yinzer out here in Chicago. Now I have 3 years of your best work.

    1. mcconnellfam says:

      I’m officially a Lunatic! Good luck Dejan…I know this will be HUGELY successful! Can’t wait :-)

      1. texbas57 says:

        Signed up for 3 years. I’m looking forward to reading. Not sure about log in process or ID

  15. Pghgolfgirl says:

    Just signed up for 3 years – looking forward to having a Starbucks sometime!!! :-) Question: my PayPal is linked to one email address but I’d rather have your blog sent to another (the one I have below). How do I handle that?

  16. Dejan Kovacevic says:

    Guys, please help spread the word that NO PASSWORD is ever used in this process. You insert your email, the key comes to you by email, you click, you’re redirected back here fully logged in. That’s it. No password to remember or lose or whatever.

    1. mooperman says:

      Cool. Hope I am your first Canadian subscriber :p

    2. bcvhughes says:

      DK: Best Wishes in the new venture!; living outside of Philly, you are THE GO TO SOURCE for all things relating to Pittsburgh sports.

    3. Heismano1 says:

      I can’t wait

    4. tkoui says:

      [taps mic] Is this thing on? Well, you’ve got me for 3 years so there’s that. Any chance there will be a phone app available soon? I always appreciate well thought out insight about the Pens since I can’t get it nearby as I am some 420+ miles west down I-80.

  17. dadtackular says:

    Congrats DK! Took me a while to find you, but am signed up for three years! I’m very excited to follow you! Best of luck!

  18. Denis Gorman says:

    In for three years.

  21. mountaineers64 says:

    I’m in, and looking forward to it! Good luck!

  22. Hey Dejan – If you need help promoting the new site let me know….

  23. jerryrad43 says:

    Best of Luck DK!

  24. Brett says:

    DK,
    Sorry for being a nub, but how does my email address link to the account/subscription – in other words, how do you know that I paid? The email addy wasnt part of the registration process…

  25. ddavison482 says:

    Dejan – Best of luck with your new venture. Looking forward to many years of honest straightforward sports news!

  26. Good luck DK! Been following you for a long time.

  27. dapp66 says:

    Bought a year, glad I did!

    1. TerryFletcherCPC says:

      Just signed up for a year! Thanks DK.
      @TerryinSoCalif

  28. Reading says:

    Good to go.

  29. Hford89 says:

    Officially in for three years!

  30. Dejan, I just subscribed. Looking forward to comments to the most complete sports guy in Pittsburgh. Good luck.

  31. BR in NYC says:

    Nice DK figure I owe you a few after eating your content up for many years… couldn’t bare to give $ to the Trib/ Scaife fam though, my family would disown me….

  32. stuart66 says:

    DK will we be able to use alias? Don’t want my email address to be published.

  33. bisbee1203 says:

    Ready to roll, Dejan

  34. toochca says:

    Nice!! We are getting the band back together!!

  35. Carlos Danger says:

    I’m in for 3 years Dejan. Good luck man!

    1. rjake says:

      Testing one two three

    2. krukky29 says:

      East side of the state on board and excited

    3. Ben Knauff says:

      Looking forward to seeing what you do in the new medium.

      1. Pops79 says:

        This is epic DK. Proud subscriber here. Long may you run!

  36. CRASH says:

    OK, I just want to see if I can post a reply as CRASH, even though I am not.

  37. WithBBQSauce says:

    How do you know if you are logged in? I click the link in the email, and it just comes back to the same screen asking for me to type in my email address…

  38. SteelersNasty says:

    Will there be separate forums or will the discussion be in the feedback section of each feature/post?

  39. Lad 9 says:

    On board for 3 years and looking forward to it. Good luck DK. I think this will be a fun ride!

    1. Carlos Danger says:

      Nice to see a familiar “face” around here…

  40. Rock says:

    Houston, come in? This is epic and I wouldn’t miss it. Long may you run DK!

  41. Nick says:

    Just a suggestion, if you go into your settings there should be an area to turn on the optimization for mobile users. I’m not sure if it’s turned on or not but it would be really helpful when reading!

  42. Joey Mellons says:

    Congrats Dk.

  43. Stephen says:

    I wish there was a login screen otherwise access at work will be impossible since they block gmail.

  44. Rock says:

    Testing from phone…

  45. Bill E says:

    In for 3 years DK!

  46. dbf in hbg says:

    Congratulations on the website DK. Really looking forward to it.

    1. Braveheart says:

      Good luck with your new endeavor, DK. I wish you all the best. The LOG IN system is uneccessarily complicated. Too many clicks and a switch from your site to my email and back again is asking a lot. Can you simplify?

    2. mody044 says:

      DK, loved the first column, very excited about your new endeavor, glad to be a supporter. Keep up your excellent work and good luck.

    3. Pittsburgh Lawyer says:

      Signed up for 3 years. Best luck to my favorite Pittsburgh sports journalist.

  47. Jandy says:

    Is this going to be the place to leave comments for ALL the articles? Help an ol’ Grandma here…

  48. JAL says:

    Oh the names in the story, Zach Duke, Lastings Milledge, Ronny Cedeno–those were the bad old days

  49. toke74 says:

    Congrats on the new site!

  50. mmng says:

    Bought 3 years – can’t wait to see what develops

    1. jaffer318 says:

      hey will i get a free cup of coffee if i live in the uk?

  51. patrick(ri) says:

    Congratulations. I am in, even if I only care about the Pirates (sort of enjoy Steeler losses, and really dislike the QB).

    I look forward to at least 3 years of this, if my Steeler sentiments don’t get me banished

    btw, you could raise a fortune for this on Kickstarter,

  52. stuart66 says:

    Great start with this column! I remember Zach’s downcast look. More recent memory of the Reds fiasco last year were cancelled out by Justin Wilson last night.
    The home plate ump really sucked last night. Very bad on balls and strikes, and should have tossed Mr. Wright. Stu

    1. TonyF-central-NY says:

      Good luck with the new venture Dejan! I’m looking forward to watching it grow.

  53. Tom P. says:

    I’m officially a lunatic now. Before, only my wife thought I was crazy.

  54. Lad 9 says:

    It is nice to be present at a launch. You go DK and Mrs. DK! You are in this together we can’t forget. Awesome column to start with – I loved Wilson’s response. As far as the log-in, I would rather have a password set up. I use up to 4 devices in a given day. It will get ugly.

  55. JT says:

    Hopefully someone smarter than I can answer this: Do we have to get sent the email link everyday to be logged in? Also, I bought the 3-year plan, but I don’t see where it shows I’m logged in.

  56. Jim S. says:

    DK:

    Congrats on the new site! I love entrepreneurship! I know you’ll make it work. I look forward to reconnecting with past friends and meeting new ones here.

    1. percy8311 says:

      DK, will there be an option for recurring montly payments? Or do I have to re-subscribe each month?

      1. mcpitt88 says:

        How do I know if I am logged in?

  57. Skip says:

    It would be cool to have a way to add comments at the end of a column – maybe there is and I’m missing it???

  58. Skip says:

    And by the way, when the timing is right, looking forward to the Ike Davis column that got bumped last night.

  59. Bill says:

    I’m in. Lunatic Level here. Happy to support whatever you got.

  60. Gamardo says:

    Good luck, Dejan. Subscribed yesterday. Tried to pay with Starbucks gift card, but site wouldn’t accept!! Best wishes on your bold endeavor.

  61. gcontis says:

    Lunatic level purchased – State of MI in the house! Less than a nickel a day for DK!

  62. Kris says:

    Im having issues logging in

  63. Lynn says:

    I’m having issues logging in as well, I get the link sent, but it redirects me to the how to subscribe again.

  64. Darren Lynch says:

    You had me at profanity-laced John Russell. I’m in for a year.

  65. Numbers says:

    I realized you were gone as I read the Trib on Monday. I like the guys left but glad I found where you went. Best of luck – hope there’s nothing but in your career. You’ve been a great writer.

  66. pambruchwalski says:

    Just subscribed…Lunatic, of course…but I’m getting a warning in my gmail that you might not be you, Dejan. What the heck? Wary of clicking the link to confirm my email now…

  67. kamala95 says:

    Dejan,
    Upped for the 3 years my friend. I have appreciated reading you for some time, and I am hoping you continue to have success in this new endeavor.

    U and Smizik give me my “home cookin” that I miss being 4 hours away here in central PA.

    It’s a ‘Burg Thing”

  68. bradthedad says:

    I’m in as a Lunatic. Well done, DK – love it when people step outside their comfort zones.

  69. bradthedad says:

    I’m in as a Lunatic. Well done, DK. Love it when people step outside their comfort zones.

  70. JoeBucco says:

    Not that I want to bug you on tech support, but I have a question I think I may already know the answer to. I signed up right away for the 3 year deal, but my Paypal email of record is a business email address that I don’t really use for this sort of thing. (pt 1)

  71. JoeBucco says:

    Is that the email address I’m going to have to use now, instead of the personal one that I usually use? Should I cancel and re-submit with my correct email addy?

  72. Floridasteeler says:

    Good luck on the website.

  73. Floridasteeler says:

    Trouble logging in??

  74. Jeremy says:

    Can’t log in either.. Just redirects to how to subscribe page even after my payment went thru on pay pal?

    1. Craig says:

      Any info on the corporate sponsor announcement?

  75. Katie says:

    I’m also having trouble logging in–same issues others are having. Plus, I’d like to use a different email than my PayPal email. Will that be possible? Excited to see this come together!

  76. Christine Monteith says:

    Can’t log in either! Same issue as the others. I really don’t like having to get an email every time I log in… I won’t be able to log in at work as they block gmail….. Please reconsider the log in process.

  77. Brian Nightingale says:

    Keeps taking me back to the login/subscribe page as well after subscribing via PayPal for a year. Any advice?

    1. Dan Labuda says:

      Im having the same issue

    2. Eric Bowser says:

      Did you click the link in DK’s email to you?

  78. Eric Bowser says:

    Once you click the link in the email from DK, you are golden. There’s no password either.

  79. Eric Kraus says:

    Best of luck DK! Looking forward to reading it daily!

  80. Ski says:

    DK – giving up buying one beer a month to read your fine articles and thoughtful insight into Pittsburgh sports. It is definitely worth it. Best of luck!

  81. Matt says:

    Think you should add a soccer silhouette. You’ve not abandoned the Hounds yet, have you?

  82. AJS says:

    Am I missing something? Are we in a free sneak peek period for now or is there some kind of additional content you get with subscription? Right now it seems like I can see everything right on the home page.

    1. grantmr says:

      im with u ajs id like a little better explanation on what u get for paying i was also confused on the log in part as well but i believe once u click the link thats all u need

  83. Sherry says:

    My husband has subscribed (for three years!), and we (obviously) share the same internet provider and router/modem. However, we do have separate email addresses. Do we really each have to pay for our own subscriptions? Is there a way we can share the subscription?

    1. DK's wife says:

      Sherry, please email me your and your husband’s email.

  84. USMarine1977 says:

    So if there is no login, does this mean if I were to subscribe I can only access the site’s full features from one device? I have multiple devices; PC, Laptop, iPad, and mobile.

    1. Dejan Kovacevic says:

      You can use the same email to log in on any device. Thank you for signing up AND for your service!

  85. DerekR says:

    DK, finally back from my Pittsburgh trip and plan on signing up this week, regardless of answer to question below…
    My question, though, is what exactly do I get with subscription? Right now, without signing up, I have still read all articles. What do I gain by signing up?

    1. DK's wife says:

      Derek, you have a very limited number of views until all content will be blocked.
      Your support is much appreciated.

  86. Doc says:

    Ok… so I am in…..

    are there comments on the daily entries by DK? Because this is the only comment place I see

    1. DK's wife says:

      Click on the entry headline and you will find the comments below it.
      Thank you for subscribing, Doc.

  87. Lad 9 says:

    I was going along fine & I got this message that I need to log in. Tried multiple times, but still can’t get past that message & I can’t read the Paul Chryst interview. I signed up at the Lunatic level on 7/22. Can anyone help please or am I just too dumb to figure this out. TY

    1. Dejan Kovacevic says:

      Make sure cookies are allowed on your browser. That’ll do it.

      1. Karen22 says:

        Dejan—

        I am having the same problem as Lad 9! I just subscribed as a Lunatic and cannot read content. I CAN read all of the replies on the threads, and I can comment (which I was able to do even before I signed up)…please advise.

    2. Karen22 says:

      No, Laddie, I am having the same issues after just having subscribed – following all the right steps…still can’t read content (except for comments).

  88. Lad 9 says:

    I tried DK. No joy. I am using an I-Pad and the browser is Safari.

    1. Lad 9 says:

      All fixed. Thanks DK. Your customer service department rocks! :)

  89. rzgonc says:

    Buttonbox Will be glad to provide background polka music to breaking stories. You will go down in history as a pioneer in hi-tech sports reporting. Best of luck!

  90. brandonvantassell says:

    Just purchased the yearly subscription. Good luck with everything!

  91. Lad 9 says:

    I had some issues logging in and reading articles, and this is what I would recommend doing if it happens to you:

    First, enable cookies
    Next clear browser history and close your DK tab
    Then go back to the site and ask for a log in email. Hopefully that does it. If not (cont)

  92. Lad 9 says:

    If not, leave a comment here and the customer service dept (some guy named Dejan) is very helpful. But you might need to give him another email address.
    You can tell for sure that you are logged on when your subscription plan appears at the top of this page. Hope this helps.

  93. jaffer318 says:

    Hey I have run into a problem where i can access the site from internet explorer but not from firefox even though I have got all the cookies enabled. what can i do to get the site working on firefox?

    1. Dejan Kovacevic says:

      TO ALL: ALL PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED BY CLEARING OUT CACHE, THEN ENABLING COOKIES, THEN LOGGING IN ANEW. SPREAD THE WORD LIKE WILDFIRE! :)

      1. jaffer318 says:

        cleared out cache and enabled all cookies still black screen :s

  94. TLCinDC says:

    Just signed up for the maximum level.. DK, drinks on me the next time you’re in DC… Excelsior!

  95. Ragpicker says:

    Just signed up for 3 years. Great way to keep up on all my Pittsburgh teams while living in Cincy.

    Desktop works fine, but not able to log-in on my Android. I put in my email address at log-in, and it says it will send me a link. The link never comes. Thanks for the help.

  96. turk482 says:

    DK I’d like to get a subscription as a gift for my son in D.C. Is there any way to do so without affecting my own subscription?

    1. Dejan Kovacevic says:

      Yes! Email us: [email protected]
