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.
