  I read through the steps and watched the tutorial video but in trying to follow the directions, the “link” button in the “new post” or “new page” doesn’t show up for me. It’s there but not available to me. Does it only work if I have a premium or paid WordPress account?

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

  No. Do you have a merchant account at Paypal? What code are you using?

  Yes I do as I have the donate button on my Blogger page. I followed the steps exactly as outlined but the link button at the top of my “new post” on my blog doesn’t work. I can put in the code and then see the button but in the post editor the link button is greyed out, can’t click on it.

  Don’t follow the Blogger instructions. They don’t work, as you have seen. Use the WordPress.com instructions which you can find by a search of the Support documents. http://support.wordpress.com/

  I wasn’t following Blogger instructions, I was following WordPress instructions. So that’s not it.

  Then what exactly is the code that you are using? And do you have a Merchant account with Paypal?
