Hello all,
I just saw www.smalltalk.org http://www.smalltalk.org/ because they are linking to our articles. I had no idea such a site existed. The thing that caught my eye was the donate page. You have to wonder how many people donate to smalltalk.org. So should we add a donate page to weeklysqueak.wordpress.org?

smalltalk.org is the personal website of Peter Lount, not an "institutional" one.
I could agree with placing a donate button in weeklysqueak.wordpress.com , but we should clear that with the board first.

Eventually the squeakfoundation.org site will be repaired/updated and the donate button will be live on there. Maybe point to squeakfoundation.org when it's ready?
Hi Brad,
I'm not sure I can attach a separate page directly to the blog but I'll look. I think it would be better to add a full page of something on weeklysqueak that says who we are and why people should donate. Whatever the page is on SqF maybe we could copy it to weeklysqueak. I would hate to have them click on our page only to give up clicking again. Two clicks to a donate button I think is too much. What do you think?
Ron

We'll have to wait and see. but, I _think_ the donate button will be a paypal button which will take the clicker to paypal to donate to SqF. If that's the case then the buttons will contain the same link (on any site) to paypal, and you're set.
