Asking for Donations on Your Blog

Aside from time, loss of sleep (which I require very little of anyway), and eye strain, my blog hasn't cost me anything. However, I do understand that some bloggers utilize their own domain names, fee based web hosting services, etc. that do require some out of pocket expense.

I thought the "buy me a beer", "buy me a cup of coffee", "buy me lunch" plug-ins were actually kind of cute. Anyone with a PayPal account and a Wordpress blog can add this donation feature to their site.

I don't really have an opinion one way or the other about asking for donations to help with blogging expenses. Chances are greater that this money generating idea will work with the more popular blogs that have extremely high readerships (loyal readerships). 

Heck, what's the harm in sending some spare change to your favorite hangout in the blogosphere?

Feel free to opine (LOL! I've always wanted to say that. Thanks Bill O'Reilly...you jerk!)
