Honestly, I would rather do this & not have my userid tied to a credit card. And not have to worry about a monthly or yearly subscription to each different internet website. As it is, I am not signing up for any of the gold account stuff.
You could maybe put a button on the right hand side. Or flip it up as an advert on occasion to get tips.

wow, I hadn't heard of flattr before. I hope it catches on across the internet
Yeah. I think it is a good system. I wasn't going to suggest this while it was still in "invite only" mode. The down side is that right now they take a 10% skim off the top. But they do promise to lower that percentage once they scale up. With the guy from the Pirate Bay on the team, I expect they will follow through with that promise.
Another nice feature is that they allow you to do your tipping anonymously.
