  Hello there, I took a look at the PayPal button you added to your sidebar. You correctly added the image, but it is not linking to anything because it’s missing that code.

  You’ll see, specifically in step #9 of the PayPal support documentation, which link you’ll need to grab:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  Additionally, I would suggest using the Image widget, rather than the Text widget. It may make the process easier. To do this, install an Image widget in your sidebar, then add the following Image URL to the corresponding field:

  https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif

  Afterward, you’ll add the link you retrieved in step #9 of the PayPal document to the “Link URL (when the image is clicked)” field.

  Save your widget.

  I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions at all, once you’ve retrieved that URL from PayPal. Thanks!
