They had a thread devoted to their donations button, which included the button, and a percent bar which indicated how close donations had come to covering the site's costs for the month.
It seems to me like a good way of making the donations button easy to find, without being intrusive.
+1 to this.
I've donated money to many sites that I enjoy, especially when their donate button is easy to find.
A few other ideas - auction off some cool items (books, posters, existing merchandise) that was (legal) purchased and then signed by Brandon. I bet if a bunch of Magic cards were donated to the cause, some enterprising 17th Sharder could get Brandon to make a deck from them, play them, then give them up to be auctioned off. Other items could be given to Brandon to use while on tour, something that he would most likely use anyway, that could be signed and sold off after the tour. I'm sure Peter can tell us if Brandon needs a new flight bag!
