Flattr plugin installed
Hello fellows!
The Flattr plugin for WordPress have just been installed on our blogs.
Privacy implication: of course, Flattr gets information about who gives to whom through their system. Furthermore, when you get onto a webpage where a dynamic (=with javascript) Flattr button is present, your browser usually has to ask this file to flattr.com, through an HTTP request which referer field is set to the viewed page. Thus and more simply said, as soon as a user gets onto your blog, Flattr is informed who (ip address) is viewing your blog.
This is therefore a question of trust (in how Flattr uses this information) and everyone’s responsibility to decide whether to use this tool.
If you want to, please follow these steps:
- activate the Flattr plugin under Plugins in your dashboard;
- follow the configuration steps under Settings→Flattr, which are:
- bind your user account to your Flattr account, or the FSFE’s one;
- select the options you wish.
More information can be found on the official plugin page.
Have fun using this new plugin!
