Hm, I know roughly what netzpolitik.org, Germany's largest blog, makes
off flattr and if you calculate that by the difference in visitors,
I'm pretty sure its not financially interesting. It may be more useful
to put on a donations page where you can specify and amount and hope
for some people to give out 20 EUR every now and then.

Right, although I'm a bit concerned about the number of top bars we're
going to get (the OKF default theme has two already, things like OS
add another 2-3 layers).
