It has been about 3 1/2 years since I last took online donations. That’s around the time that I started putting Google Adsense ads on my site. I thought Adsense would generate enough revenue to do away with ads, but I was wrong. It’s barely enough to cover my hosting costs each month.

Recently many readers have expressed a desire to help me out given how much time I have put into the site over the past 5 1/2 years since its inception. One reader asked me today if it was possible to donate, so I went ahead and found some of my old code that allows you to donate using Paypal. And compared to the last time I took donations through Paypal, the good thing is now you can make donations using credit cards through the Paypal payment system (you don’t need a Paypal account).

I figured this is really the best way to collect money rather than making YaoMingMania a “walled garden” only viewable to people who pay a subscription fee.

The donate button is on the right side of the page, or you can donate using this button here:

Thanks again to all the readers who have expressed a desire over the last week to help me out financially, and for all your support and kind words!
