  Hi there,

  If you want the button to appear in subscription emails as well, you’ll need to use the plain PayPal Buy Now button instead, as I don’t think the Simple Payments button will work outside of WordPress.com.

  You can find instructions how to manually add a HTML button for PayPal here:

  This can be done on a free site.

  Thank you. I appreciate these replies.
  I get overwhelmed with all the information out there. I grew up in the late 50s, 60s, and early 70s, and do not keep up with the tech jargon and apps like I should, I guess. I appreciate having things spelled out for me !! (I actually taught myself basic programming in the 1980s and early 90s, so I’m not computer illiterate … just old !! LOL !!)
