   How can I get the following code on my blog? (It's a PayPal donate button.)

   <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
   <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
   <input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email redacted]">
   <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2">
   <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
   <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
   <input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0">
   <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF">
   <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but21.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
   <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
   </form>

   Searching the forums for paypal and form might help. :)

   Paypal is allowed but the form verson of the link isn't because forms are stripped due to security concerns.

   Sorry, but I didn't find anything that helped. All I want is one of those PayPal buttons on my blog. :(

   You have to find a different version of the button in order for it to work. A non-Form version. There are some around, so search the Paypal site for them.

   I think raincoaster's got a good idea. You can find a non-form version of a paypal button on the net and upload it into a text widget.

   then how can you use the link to your paypal acct when using a non-form version? I was going to add a page that has it on it with donate as the tab. whaddya think?

   I think you should contact staff for a definitive answer by using a feedback form.

   The paypal info can be found in this thread. It really needs to be added to the FAQ since the question comes up so often.

   Thanks a lot Vivian. The thread did not have a helpful title and I have now tagged it with "paypal button code" and cross-referenced it to the other thread.
