  I am changing to using just my blog and giving up my website. We do restaurant reviews and also sell lunching discount cards and need to insert a PayPal Buy Now button.
  I have entered Pay Pal html code several times in the Text editor as opposed to the visual editor. It shows in the visual editor but then when I preview or even update the page all I see is “Name on Card”, no button???

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

  We are not allowed to sell any product we do not personally create or sell any service we do not personally provide on any free hosted WordPress.com blog. No sponsored or paid content of any kind is allowed on any free hosted WordPress.com blog and no blogger initiated advertising is allowed either.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate. Read the comparison here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  To move your content into WordPress.org install here’s a brief summary of the required steps to take:

  1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/
  2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
  3. Export your content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.
  4. Purchase a site redirect upgrade from wordpress.com
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/ or if you have domain mapping then update the nameservers http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/
  5. Transfer subscribers and stats. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/

  You’re welcome. It would be a shame to see you work on the blog and then have it suspended for ToS violations. Here’s what gets a free hosted WordPress.com blog suspended:
