HTML not working

  I can’t get my HTML to show up once I publish the blog post. I inserted it into the text section correctly. When I click back to visual, I see it perfectly. But once I click to update the blog, and view the post, its not there. Everything I can find googling says how to enter it correctly, which I did as proven by it showing up in the visual side, but nothing about it disappearing when you go to publish.

  When I go back to edit (after viewing the published post), its no longer there in the visual side. Some of the code is still there in the text side, but not everything.

  The specific code is for a paypal donate button. The blog purpose is fundraising, so I need to be able to insert this donate button onto every page. Here is the code:
  <form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr” method=”post” target=”_top”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_s-xclick”>
  <input type=”hidden” name=”hosted_button_id” value=”NTS37CVLLJ72Q”>
  <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!”>
  <img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif” width=”1″ height=”1″>
  </form>

  When I go back to edit after having published, this is all thats left of the code in the text section:
  <form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr” method=”post” target=”_top”><img alt=”” src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif” width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ />

  </form>

  Please help! Thank you.

  There’s an extra charge if you make us guess your URL.

  They need to know your WordPress.COM site URL so they can best help you.

  Sorry, didn’t think that mattered with the information I posted, didn’t think seeing the site made a difference since the problem is things not showing at all there. http://blog.workndog.org/lin/

  It definitely matters what the URL is so thanks for posting it and know it will be required when you post to the correct support forum too.

  We provide support only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs and that site is not one of them. It is a WordPress.ORG software install and you are posting to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

  Resetting your WordPress.ORG password http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
