Comment:

 Linking directly to the sponsor website from a logo on the sidebar has the
 potential to make the IRS think we're selling advertising rather than
 thanking sponsors. Let's keep people linking to the sponsor post (which
 can then link to the sponsor's site) rather than linking directly to the
 sponsor's site from the sidebar.
