The first time I heard about this Buy Me a Beer plugin ( the wordpress version ) was from John Chow dot com ( Ankesh Kothari is the one who made this plugin, not John Chow! ).

John Chow is one of the example ( and he made nice amount of money from it. ) Does this phrase look familiar to you?Blogging is hard work. Why not buy me a beer so I can cool off? (Suggested: $3 a beer or $7.5 for a pitcher)and this?If you liked this post, buy me a beerI like this plugin very much. In fact, I like other WP plugins like top commentators, related post and so forth. But the main disadvantage for using free blog hosting like blogspot is that we don't have the blogspot version for the plugin. I tried looking for those plugins for years months but with no success.
