Want to find ways so that people could easily donate to your work via PayPal? There is what Patrick Chia calls the Paypal Donate Widget Plugin. As with other widgets, it requires WordPress 2+, a theme that is widget friendly and the widgets plugin.

Simple install procedure

If you have the prerequisites, you could start installing the widget on your blog. It is really easy:

1. Download the widget here.


2. Extract the file on your computer then upload it via FTP and make sure that you place them in the /wp-content/plugins/widgets directory.


3. Make sure it’s active then drag drop it on to your sidebar.


4. Configure it.

Wasn’t that quick and easy to remember?

There are many developers out there who have been creating really nifty blog plugins and widgets for public use. Why not spread the love? How? By giving them a little something for the time and effort that they spend, especially if you ask them for some technical help especially if you are new to using these plugins and widgets. One other group of people I think who could directly benefit for this would be the graphic designers who come up with themes/templates/layout.

If you think that you could use this widget, go ahead and install it. In a way, this helps everyone online when it comes to getting some financial help. Aside from that, it’s fairly easy to use because it’s quite direct. In case you’re using it already and would like to suggest some improvements, you could contact Patrick Chia on his blog.
