 * The site says to use the shortcode “[flattr uid=’MyID’ /]” but that does not 
   work for me. When I do that, all I get is the button, but with an exclamation
   and the message “error”. I am trying to put in in the sidebar using the widgets
   text option.
 * This is my test site that I’m trying to figure it out on: [http://myworthlesscrap.com/WordPress/](http://myworthlesscrap.com/WordPress/)
