How to Put a Donation Button on a WordPress Blog

1. Expand the 'Appearance' menu in the left sidebar of your WordPress Dashboard. Click 'Widgets.'
2. Click and drag the 'Text' widget from the 'Available Widgets' panel into the 'Sidebar' panel. If you have more than one sidebar on your blog, choose the sidebar that the donation button will fit best in. Once you have dropped the widget into the sidebar panel, the widget will expand to reveal two text fields.

3. Write a title to go above the donation button, such as 'Donate' or 'Support This Blog.' If you do not want any text above your donation button, leave the 'Title' field blank.
4. Open the website for your donation button in a separate browser tab. Copy the HTML code for embedding the button. Paste the HTML code into the the main text field within the Text widget. Click the blue 'Save' button. The donation button is now live on your WordPress blog.
