March the 1st has been designated ‘make a donation for your plugin’ day, or buy a coffee for your coder day :-)

The idea came from V S Ellis who mentioned it on his blog and in some forums.

Many of us use plugins and often the developers or coders provide extra help to get it just perfect for your needs, this is a way of saying thank you. Without them our WordPress blogs would look a lot different!

I shall be buying a few coffees for the people who have taken the time to create the plugins that I love.

If you take a look at V S Ellis’s blog, you’ll see he suggests the following hashtags/tweets

“I just donated to insert plugin name” #wppdd

Alternate ($ amount optional of course):

“I just donated to Plugin Developer to say thanks for the PluginName [insert short URL to plugin page or author]” – #wppd

“I just donated $x to Plugin Developer to say thanks for the PluginName [insert short URL to plugin page or author]” – #wppd

If you don’t know who your plugin creators are, just leave us a comment with the name of your plugin and we’ll tell you who coded it.

    OK – well I managed to donate to the creators of the following:

    CryptX – http://weber-nrw.de/ (though resisted the temptation to comment in my O Level German!)
    Exclude Pages – http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/wordpress/
    WordPress Database Backup – http://ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup/

    The others just made it impossible (or too difficult) to donate too.

    I donated to Michael Torbet’s all in one seo (think he could be having a good day :-) )

    And the twitterlinks by Josh Jones, both have saved me heaps of time!
