Here is yet another way you can monetize your site!

Many of you may have noticed recently that there is now a Paypal Donate Button on my site it looks like this

and it's off to the right.

To many bloggers this button is also euphemistically known as a "Tip Jar".

Basically it is a place where those who are so inclined can leave a couple of bucks for the author of the site. At first I thought it was kind of cheesy but after I got a few donations I thought...'what the heck?'.

Here's how to set one up:

1. http://www.paypal.com/

2. click on merchant services link: or here, https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_merchant&nav=3

3. click on their "donate" option: or here: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick-donations-factory

4. fill out the form, select your button. note: go with the "button encryption", actually whenever in doubt, I always opt for encryption...it's safer that way.

5. create the button and grab the HTML on the following page, and post it wherever you need.

If you have any questions, just drop me a note!

Cheers everyone!
