How to add a donate button to your blog using paypal
59The easiest way is to sign up for a Paypal account (to get to their site, type "paypal" into the searchbox at the top of the page, tick the "Web" radio button and click "Search"). Sign into your Paypal account. Once you are signed in, you will see a Paypal Merchant Tool tab. Click that and you will get to a page, on the right side of which you will see a section titled "Key Features".

Paypal merchant tools key features and Click on "Donations" and you will get to a page where you have various fields to fill in. One of them is "Donation Name/Services".
I typed "This is for demonstration purpose only ...." thinking it will be added to the top of the button, but it appeared serve no purpose because I left the other fields empty (except for my country which is already selected in the drop-down menu), left the choice of the default "donation" button 'Paypal make a donation button' ticked,
click "Create Button Now" at the bottom of the page. The HTML was generated. I just copied the HTML, got to the LAYOUT of the relevant blog,
click Add a Page Element, chose HTML/Javascript, paste the HTML into the box and
click "Save to Blog". That Page Element was added to the top of the left sidebar section. I wanted it at the bottom so I dragged it down, then
click "Save" at the top of the LAYOUT.

If you want a different button from the Paypal make a donation button, you will have to create your own button, perhaps using one of those free button generator sites (use the searchbox at the top of the page. Tick the "Web" radio button).
Upload it to the web using either Getting New Blogger to host a picture for the profile photo, sidebar, Header, etc. (click BACK button to get back to this page) or use Photobucket. Get the URL, paste that into the field for the Button Image URL and tick the radio button.

may I suggest wujwuj.com. they make "funding fun" as they put it, its social funding if you will. Instead of just asking for donations it gives the donators the ability to leave comments, upload pictures and it gives the ability to the admins to twitter updates, share videos and pictures. it keeps a log of all donators and show their names (if the donators opt to show their names) and the coolest thing is that it creates a sense of competition between donators.. the more they donate the higher on the page they donation shows up in my opinion its much better than simply taking money. here is an example of a donation page. https://www.wujwuj.com/Contribute/DefaultF.aspx?Ev
good one
I have set up a blog recently on attracting women purely for the enjoyment of helping people in this part if their lives. I am putting alot of effort in and feel now i need extra cash to help me keep the blog running smoothly. This sounds like a great idea to use as i would like to keep my blog looking clean. Also people who donate are doing so because my content is good which will be a massive reward for me.
Thanks for the help

Thanks for the info, i need to add in my blog.
Nice to see your blog. Its really very nice. I like it very much. I also visited gifting site. It has unique gifts for all occasions.
Does putting a donate button actually get people to donate, or is it really only applicable if you have a charity kind of blog? I don't think i want it on my blog unless people magically feel inclined to give money to me because of it. I write about paintball at http://dyepaintballfanatic.blogspot.com
