Ian Patrick Hines

Ian Patrick Hines is the founder and CEO of Hines Digital, an award winning, internationally renowned, conservative digital agency that’s out to beat the left at their own game by out-hustling, out-organizing, and out-fundraising them.

From November 2012 – November 2013, Ian was a NationBuilder Tech Organizer, during which time he became one of the world’s foremost NationBuilder experts. He’s now helping campaigns and organizations get the most out of their nations as a certified NationBuilder Expert & Architect.

Prior to joining NationBuilder, he spent nine years in Maryland politics where he served in nearly every role from field organizer to communications director. In 2003, when online organizing was new and unproven, he managed the GenDean Blog — at just 17-years old — and his 2010 article on the potential impact of Square on political fundraising was featured on The New York Times' Bits Blog.

A fourth-generation Marylander, he currently lives in Severna Park, Maryland with his wife Christy and their three children: Oliver, Moira and Henry.

Michael — I updated the information on this page. The old response has been removed and replaced with new instructions.

Hey Bruce — No, there isn’t a newer version of the video. I’ve removed it from the official response to avoid future confusion, as this one was removed because it showed an outdated design for our Control Panel and was no longer relevant.

commented on adding space between header and sidebar/featured content slider
Marian — That white space is controlled via your theme’s CSS. Looking particularly at your site, it appears that those three columns are configured with the style element “vertical-align: middle;”. If you set their alignment to “vertical-align: top;” it should resolve the issue.

But looking at the code, it appears that the white space is being generated by the table containing the three columns… not by the header.

Please let me know if this helps you with your troubleshooting.

Understood. Is this the how-to you’re working from?

commented on Can I change the ticket currency for each event?
It seems to me that currency ought to be selectable on a per-bank-account basis, rather than nation wide.

commented on feature
You’ll need to edit the _features.html template in the NationBuilder theme, and adjust the corresponding styles in the theme.scss and tablet-and-desktop.scss stylesheets.
