Her web developer modified the "Buy me a Beer" to "Buy me some Catnip" - she even had me put a picture of the flowering catnip plant up for the graphic (this anthropomorphic thing is getting kind of creepy!). I see it kinda like a tip jar. I don't feel that the barista at Starbucks is panhandling, although for the prices they charge, maybe they could pay their folks a bit more, or charge less so that tip jar gets more in it... but, I digress.

I had mine changed to Soda for a while, and then a Computer and I thought about doing Iced Tea, but opted to drop the plugin instead. Anyway, it's not hard to modify. The only troublespot may be creating the graphic, if creating graphics isn't your thing. But, you might be able to find free clip art somewhere (just be careful!) to cover that. A Protein Shake probably wouldn't be too hard at all! If you need any help modifying the plugin, let me know.

I guess I saw it like that at first also but since I've become more and more active with my blog I realize any vote of confidence is a good one. I, like you, would prefer a different plug in that "beer" a "Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino" would be great! But it's the thought that counts right? Thanks for this article. Don Chris,
