So let's finish the PayPal part up.
Go into your PayPal account and navigate to the area in the site that talks about making buttons. I am using the donate button on this blog. But you have a lot of other options, such as if you are going to sell items and get paid directly. They also have merchant services available for regular business. I'm not that far myself yet, so I will stick with the donate option for a while.
They will generate the html code needed to place on your website or blog. You just copy it with your mouse or high light it and press crtl+C on your keyboard. Once you have copied this code, you can go into your blog Dashboard again. Remember how earlier we talked about the Layout tab ? Click on it, and the Page Elements page should be right there in front of you. I have my PayPal button set up to be the first Gadget on the right hand side. You just click on "Add a Gadget" and the pop up window comes up. Click on HTML/JavaScript. You have a dialog box you can type into, just as if you were typing an article for your blog. You don't have to have a title, but I put the "Please Donate...yada yada" stuff in the box. In the other part is where you paste what you copied from the PayPal site which is, again, the html code for your PayPal
button. Save it, and your DONE ! You can now go to your "view blog" link to check out your handy work. Pat yourself on the back. You did good !
And now that you have a PayPal account, you can receive money or refill it with your bank account. And what would also be great is if you could take just a moment and donate to my blog using the PayPal button in the upper right hand corner. Now that we are PayPal pals ! ANYTHING is greatly appreciated ! Thank you ! Talk to you in the next post !
