Keep an eye out for PayPal shenanigans; lots of donation drives have had problems with them lately.

Oh, I will donate $10 when the html is 100% valid :) http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwillworkforam...

Hi! Aw, thanks for your support =)

I hear some mean things about PayPal sometimes too! Unfortunately it was the simplest donation process I knew how to implement (I was checking out Stripe but there was a lot of API/developer stuff I didn't understand--my friend had to help me install my Mixpanel trackers because I didn't really understand Javascript either), and it seemed like a convenient way for people to donate.

I just checked/validated my site on w3.org after googling what you might have meant by valid html, haha. (What a neat tool!) 31 errors .. ! Uhoh. Will get working on those, thanks for your review =)!

I seriously wouldn't worry about HTML validation. Not sure what prompted him to even check. It's a waste of your time. One of the biggest things I've learned from startups is that you shouldn't take every suggestion and spend time on it or assume your product sucks.

In that spirit, here's a suggestion: if you have some examples of things you've done to put in each box, I think that would help. I might be contacting you!

Good luck!

Check out www.wepay.com. Full disclosure, I use them and they're awesome.
Came here to say this, I used wepay.com to raise money from family and friends to buy my brother-in-law a birthday present. They are super easy to use, and super easy to get ahold of a real person if you run into problems.
Just put up a WePay button. =) Thanks everyone!
