    Hi there,

    You can indeed have both of your domains pointing towards the same blog, you just have to pick which domain will be primary (so which domain stays in the browser’s location bar when someone visits your site). You can set that by following the directions right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/domains-settings/#changing-your-primary-domain

    If you wanted two different blogs and one domain going to each blog, you can do that too. It takes a bit of work but I can walk you through it. Let me know if that’s what you had in mind!

    As for the paypal donation button, it could be a few things. The most common issue though is that only the most basic kind of paypal button can go on to our site. The purely HTML version. If you try and use a more advanced version, our software removes it (we only allow certain kinds of code for security reasons, and those more advanced buttons uses a kind which we don’t allow).

    If you are using a simple HTML button and it still won’t work, go ahead and put the button code in here and I’ll see if I can’t get it on there for you (include where you wanted it to go . . . which page or in a widget, etc).

    Thank you..I did that, but I will do it again. I will put it on my contact section on my blog.

    WHenever i youtube any tutorials on there, it tells me to do the same thing and put it on the html version of the posts, but WordPress new version of it only says text or visual

    <form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr” method=”post” target=”_top”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_donations”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”business” value=”(email visible only to moderators and staff)”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”lc” value=”US”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”item_name” value=”Shahbaz Family”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”no_note” value=”0″>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”currency_code” value=”USD”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”bn” value=”PP-DonationsBF:btn_donateCC_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest”>
    <input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif” border=”0″ name=”submit” alt=”PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online!”>

    </form>

    The code you mention uses the form HTML tag, which is stripped at WordPress.com. The video tutorials you’re referring to are probably working with a self-hosted install of WordPress.org, which is a bit different. You can read more about the difference here:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    On WordPress.com, you’ll need to use the following method:
