I thought so...just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the idea everyone. Im revamping the TDO site and moving servers so a few new features might be called for.

Just as a note I would not put a donate button on a portfolio site, it works for some sites but portfolio sites should be clean of any offbeat features.

I used to have a donate button on my portfolio site, I think I got about £200 over 2 months which covered by hosting etc. But it made it look kind of tacky so I removed them.

Yea I agree. A portfolio site should be as "business-like" as possible. Having a "donate" button is a little much. But on a blog, HEY why not?

On another note, thanks ardcor for being so active early on. Keep it up man!

My portfolio is far from " Business like " if you know what I mean. I try and present myself as myself and somebody I am rather that giving false impressions. And when adding the donate button, it just looked false of me. You know?
