    Hi :) I have just set up a blog/webpage for a school parent council. I want to add the easyfunding button that I have seen on other parent council pages so that parents visiting can help raise funds for the school through online shopping. Am I able to do this on the free blogspace or do I need to upgrade? I have attempted this through widgets but was unsuccessful as all that was viewable was the html code. [I was hoping to get it set up before everyone starts their Christmas shopping!!]

    Many thanks for your help :)

    Without looking at the code, we can’t tell. Paste it here between Code tabs so we can look at it.

    through online shopping.

    Sounds like affiliate shopping – might want to read the links below and have a talk with the staff about what you want to do.

    You might also review the TOS before you get too far along:

    thanks for your replies. I have read the TOS and I dont think it is violating any policy – also, other school pages have added this link. It is purely a link to the fundraising site to make people aware that they can help to raise funds for a worthy cause or charity. – you can choose which cause to support through your own shopping. Once you have “signed up” to support your cause(s), thats it. You dont have to visit the blog and click on the link every time you want to shop, so it’s not creating false traffic. Its a great way to raise funds for charities and other good causes as the companies you shop from donate a small percentage of your purchase to thewhatever cause(s) you choose to support. I intend to upgrade the blog so that I can put more information on for parents, so I think I may have to do that first. Thanks again :)

    I would run it past staff, but I too do not think a fundraising button for a school would be a problem.
