The one thing to say for Google is I could create the code and drop it into the HTML of the page - why can't I just do that in WordPress.com?

We bloggers cannot access the PHP that creates the HTML underlying our blogs as this is a muituser blogging platform. Our free hosted WordPress.com blogs are not free standing. They share a common architecture. Here all blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template and only Staff can access and edit those files as every edit made effects all blogs wearing the same theme.

(god how I hate "Help Forums" - where are the humans!!?)

Everyone answering questions here is a human being and implying we are not is an insult. We are not only human being we are human being with excellent reading comprehension skills and a desire to help others by providing technical, not emotional support. So whether or not you are hacked off is irrelevant to us.

Bottom line: Without you providing an active URL starting with http:// to the exact blog that you want to post a PayPal button on we cannot provide an accurate answer to any of your questions.

I discovered an article in your support forum (god how I hate "Help Forums" - where are the humans!!?) about using Paypal buttons on WordPress.com. I couldn't make the instructions fit what I was looking at in my UK PayPal account.
Why do WordPress make some things so hard and complicated to do, when a lot of the time they make things simple and great!! Most of the known universe allow us to create PayPal buttons and drop the code straight into the HTML on a page on our websites - Do WordPress... No! (Are you getting the message that I'm a bit hacked off about this? Good! I am!
Can you please tell me how to go down the email route to get the PayPal button of my choice into a page on WordPress.com

Thank you!
