I decided right before Christmas to get involved in the blogging world as a way to get more engaged in conversations related to my passion which is gratefully also my work – business involvement in communities and business philanthropy.  When I set up the blog, I was immediately drawn to the Regulus template by Binary Moon.  Today when I was trying to research a few things I have not yet figured out, I found a section on the Binary Moon website, “Want to say thanks?”  It says, “I’ve been asked about a Paypal button for people who make use of the theme who want to say thanks. Well I didn’t make the theme to earn money but if you want to say thank you then you can do one (or more?) of the following.

• Post a comment on the latest Regulus Post saying thanks
• Post a comment on YOUR blog saying thanks and linking to me (I like links )
• Give some money to charity
• Donate some money towards my web hosting charges (uses paypal) – if I make more than I need to cover my server costs then I will give the remainder to charity
• And finally – if you really want to give me something, you can head over to Binary Sun – and buy one of my games. That way I won’t feel bad about taking your money and you get a game to play. “

I really liked that two of the ways to say thanks to Binary Moon for offering a free template were to either make a direct contribution to charity or to donate money toward their web hosting with any remainder being given to charity.  Now I feel even better about my new blog.  Is there something like this your company could do?  Thanks Binary Moon!!
