+Some of you may have noticed that I have put Flattr buttons below my
+posts. For those who are not familiar with Flattr: It is a micropayment
+service which allows you to show your appreciation for (free) content by
+making small donations to its author. Basically it works by spending
+only a fixed (but adjustable) amount of money per month, so you don’t
+have to worry about how much you can afford; and clicking Flattr buttons
+for things you like. At the end of the month, the money you decided to
+spend is divided by the number of Flattr buttons you clicked in this
+month, and the fractions are given to the respective authors. So if
+you decide to spend $4 each month, and you click four Flattr buttons
+of four different authors, every author gets $1. There is also a
+nice video on the [Flattr homepage][0] that explains the idea:

+So, from now on, if you like, you can flattr me. Just sign up on
+flattr.com and click the buttons below each post :-)

+**Note:** The standard
+click-on-the-fly-and-show-how-many-users-have-flattrd-this button needs
+JavaScript, which is bad and takes away your privacy, so I only use the
+static button which directs you to the thing on the flattr site.
