Updated the front page to look half-decent (standard bootstrap, but better than no style!)

Also there is now a javascript library which can be included easily on any page. It's demoed on the homepage. This lets userswithout an extension installed be able to send tips. The library will scan the page and put a 'tip' button on the top right of any element that contains the tip property. The tip button will expand when clicked to show a dialog containing that users info. See a demo of the js library in action at https://everywhereium.com

My aim is to make it easy to give tips. It seems too much effort to find a contact for the site and submit it to everywhereium etc.
The url idea is more along the right path, but there is still the problem of how to let the receiver know - having to find their email is still too much effort to place on the tipper in my opinion.

I think escrow with the option to search for your url / site is the best way, which allows users to also let the receive know they can just search the page and they should have a tip waiting.

But all this doesn't really solve the primary concern I have which is how to get escrow set up. I don't want to escrow it myself, because it puts too much trust in one person. Even if I could escrow via the most trustworthy bitcoiner on the forum it shouldn't come down to the trustworthiness of one single person.

Anyhow, I hope people enjoy the minor improvements thus far. Seen some other web-wide tipping services pop up on reddit lately, good to see this space being explored with other innovative ideas.
