  Can anyone help with how I can add a buy button. I have followed instructions from paypal but the buttons never show. Can I place these in the sidebar?
  Thanks

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

  Follow the directions in the WordPress Help section. Type “Paypal” in the search bar and click on the first link. It will show you how to add the button. The directions are completely different from those on the Paypal website, so you need to use a different approach, which is explained in the help section.

  When you paste the HTML code into the editor, WordPress changes the code, so it no longer works. You have to use their method (no HTML) to get a button.
