Donation Clouds: donation plugin now to the Blogger

Long ago, I saw in the site Fique Rico a very interesting plugin: Donation Clouds.

This is interesting because, gives anyone, a practical way of advertising. Moreover, is a form of prestigiate the work of the blogger giving him motivation to keep on blogging.

This process benefits both sides, the owner of the Blog, who receives the donation, and the donor, who receives a link on every page of the Blog.
If you think your Blog offers a quality of content, you make the donation and receives a link. It's simple and fast.

The only problem that was only worked in Wordpress. It was, is no more!

I am persistent and I was wondering how could put it in my Blog. I made some adjustments in style Magaiver (I am not any expert in the subject, so it is very likely that there is a better way to adapt), and finally succeeded.

Finally, if you have the patience (and a bit of understanding on code and Internet) you can add this plugin to your Blog.
