Does my Donate button look good?

    I added a donate button to my blog (since I don't want ads on it) and was wondering if you guys 1. Like my button and 2. Like its location?

    My blog is CodeJustin.com

    Your donation button is way down the page. Not sure if people will want to donate. People don't often donate if it is not helping some poor kids in Africa.

    The donate button doesn't fit in your site.
    Also, its placement is also not that good.

    The blog a great concept. Goodluck with the site as I love some simple coding myself. Maybe can add some interesting facts and tutorials?
    Regarding the donate button I suggest make it a bit clear. I hardly see it. Some options are like using the original paypal button (you can search for web 2.0 icons too), or you can use a simple concept like if you like my work, do buy me a cup of coffee to give me a break. Also you can use a Tip Jar like one in digitalpointing.com

    Change your words
    -------
    You can give a donation by clicking the donate button above. You can use paypal or debit/credit.
    -------
    TO something more attractive:
    If you think my work has given you any benefit do consider giving some donations. This always gives me a moral boost knowing that people appreciate what I am doing.

    Get the donate button higher on the page. Additionally, you may wish to modify the look of the donate button to better match the websites look. For some reason, it doesn't "feel right" - which I believe goes back to the appearance in relation to the way the site looks (it feels unmatched).

    HI,

    when advertising is the new buzz?? you think people would want to donate? But i appreciate a neat website with no ad's :)

    And i couldn't even find it easily. Plus its not attractive. The combination of green and blue doesn't suit at all.

    Best keep it black background and bright red font of Donate. Would look sexy :)


    God bless, viji!

    Hey,

    great blog design! But I don´t like the "donate-button". I think, you should take a paypal-button, not a own. It´s not serious, if there is a blue-green button..

    Best Regards,
    Kralle123

    It's too far down, so I doubt that many people will see it. It also doesn't seem to fit in all that well, like pixel ratio's are different from the background image to the donate button(Like the donate button is less quality).

    It doesn't match with your theme, try different color and better placement

    Like everyone is saying, buttons needs to be higher on the page and the quality of the buttons is pretty low. Good site though
