Excellent! The only thing better would be a single download that functioned as global-use plugin and also as a sidebar. But this is great, and I wish it existed for other plugins, too. Thanks so much.

You indicate that the following snippet must be inserted.

For those of us who have no clue about html, codes and snippets or blogging, where do we insert this exactly? Also, does anyone know how to insert a code that allows a Paypal Donation link at the bottom of each posting next to the permalink such as at this blog:

Can you please let me know how the “return URL” function is supposed to work for this plug in? I’ve entered my desired return URL in the options page, but do I need to make additional changes elsewhere? I tested making a donation and did not return to my specified return page…instead I just went to a paypal default page of sorts.

Thanks for your help,
Mike

I followed the directions for installing the Paypal Donate Widget. The “Tip Jar” is on my home page. However, it’s not hyperlinked so no one can click on it. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
