  How do I add code for a paypal button? I have done this without problems on other sites (including another blog), but for some reason whenever I hit save changes to my post the code gets distorted. I tried wrapping the code in [code] [/code] and [img] [/img] too, but those aren’t working either. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Well, those are the wrong kind of brackets, for one thing.

  To post Paypal buttons here, you must be careful to choose the codes that work at WordPress.COM specifically. You can’t use the Encrypted versions. You can’t use any buttons like Buy Now which use Javascript. You just use the plain HTML button.
