Hey folk,
first i’ve to excuse for my linguistic failures …. i’ll give my best ;-)

I want to include my paypal donation button into my wordpress blog.
I went to paypal.com and created my html code for the button :

<form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr” method=”post”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_s-xclick”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”hosted_button_id” value=”XXXXXXXXXXXX”>
<input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypal.com/en_US/DE/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif” border=”0″ name=”submit” alt=”PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online!”>
<img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://www.paypal.com/de_DE/i/scr/pixel.gif” width=”1″ height=”1″>
</form>

i added a new ”Text” widget and copied the html code from above into the widget, clickedf on ”save” and revisited my blog…but the button doesn’t appear, in the sidebar just appeared ”Paypal Donation” , so the keyword i used for the text widget ”name”…but the code doesn’t work….

i’m looking forward to ur statements and tipps,….

kindest regards
Jonas

It looks like you have figured it out: I just went and clicked the “donate” button; it took me to a PayPal page where it is possible to donate $$ to you.
