This may be good for my more personal blog, thanks for the heads up :)

Thanks,

My main reason for creating this plugin was the lack of support for some of the foundations… prostate cancer and epilepsy in particular. Just about every female blogger (and quite a few male bloggers) have a breast cancer ribbon on their site. Nothing to take away from their foundation of choice, which is why I decided to include that ribbon as well, I just feel other organizations need blogger support as well.

Of course, the prostate cancer and epilepsy hit home for me pretty hard. Any additional support for any of the foundations listed (and others) is a huge plus.

Looks like a great way to contribute to a worthy cause.

Thanks for dropping by my blog. Nice to meet you and hear about the ribbon plugin. I think that these ribbons would be good on my personal blog which of course no one reads because I don’t care. But every little bit helps, eh?

Definitely. If just one person extra donates to the cause or receives some benefit from the information on those sites it is worth it.

Thanks for the plugin. I’m using it now.

FYI..If anyone uses the plugin but wants to change the outgoing link can do so through the plugin editor (wordpress)
