How To Add A Paypal Button To Blogger - Hi Brendan, The blog is looking good. If possible, try to post something on it every day. You can vary the length of the posts, just something short when time is tight. There are two parts to getting the Paypal code on your site. First is getting the Paypal code! Second is getting it on your site! HOW TO GET YOUR PAYPAL CODE 1. Log in to Paypal 2. Click Merchant Services 3. Find the Key Features box on the right and click Donations. 4. Donations Page 1: Fill in the fields with your Donation name and a ref no. (the latter is not necessary). Choose a "Donate" button - I suggest the one with the pic of the credit cards beneath. It is up to you whether you "encrypt" or not. As you do not have a website there is no need to go to "Donations Page 2" for "more options", so you can just click "Create Button Now". 5. On the new page, click "Select All" for the "HTML Code for Websites" box and copy and paste the code to your blog. HOW TO GET YOUR PAYPAL DONATION BUTTON ON BLOGGER 1. Go to your Blogger.com dashboard. 2. Click the "Layout" tab. 3. Click "Add A Gadget" 4. Scroll down to HTML/JavaScript and click the + sign. 5. A small screen will pop up and you can PASTE your Paypal Donation Button code there and add a title if you wish. 6. Click SAVE on the small screen. 7. Now, back on the main screen you can preview and then SAVE. If all has gone well, you should now have a Paypal Donation button on your blog. === Best wishes, David H
Re: FaceBook - Pay Per Click ads can get the ball rolling.
Re: artist/author/personalized human potential developer - Hi Nancy, I know what you mean about some of those "other" forums. While we too are constantly fighting blatant spam (such as has been splattered over the site today), where people have something to of value to offer they are welcomed to the forum. It was that friendly quality which attracted me to come back to the forum after my first post. I really noticed the difference. BTW, if you'd like to upload an avatar pic and post your website link as a signature file, the way to do it is: 1. Find the blue bar going across the main forum site near the top, just beneath the black "meet your moerators" block. 2. Click "User Control Panel". 3. Click "Profile" tab. 4. From here you can "edit avatar" and also "edit signature" so be sure to put your website address and a little blurb in the signature section so that your link appears beneath your posts. Best wishes, David H
