  I am hoping to include the paypal donate widget into my blog, however it is asking me to download the widget and uploaded to my server. However as I am on the wordpress hosted service, I do not have access to the server to upload files.

  Is there any way I can include widgets in my side bar whilst using the wordpress hosted service?

  And can anyone reccomend an easy to use and nice looking paypal widget?

  If you do a forum search for “Paypal instructions” you’ll find a couple of good threads on how to add the paypal button to a text widget.

  Widgets go in the sidebar. Whatever kind of widget it is, try a forum search and see if there’s a way to do the same thing in a post. There are LOTS of widget threads. There’s a whole widget forum!

  Never mind, obviously I need to drink my coffee. My suggestion to do a search first is still applicable though.
