		<description>Danny,&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your quick reply&lt;br /&gt;I was using that paypal link. I would enter the amount and then log into paypal. Upon submit, the page would refresh with a warning that amount must be greater than 0. I would enter in 10.00 and hit submit and it would refresh and show the error. I even tried different amounts like 10, 10.01, 10.10 and they all returned with amount must be greater than 0&lt;br /&gt;  I was really trying to make it work. &lt;br /&gt;I have used blogging in the past to raise money for a variety of causes. With friends, we were able to take care of a beloved mentor for a year as he was dying of brain cancer just on the donations via the blog. I wanted to do my part to support the war kids cause but also to lead credence to social media for social causes.&lt;br /&gt;  Bean </description>

		<description>Hi Beanfair, 
 
Not sure what problems you mean re. OpenID and IntenseDebate - you certainly don&#039;t need to register to post any comments on the blog, simply just your name and email. 
 
I&#039;m not sure why you were having problems donating via PayPal - this is the first anyone has mentioned such an issue, so I will look into it. Although this may be a redundant question, were you using the correct link: 
 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://12for12k.org/2009/01/15/paypal-option-now-available/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://12for12k.org/2009/01/15/paypal-option-now-...&lt;/a&gt;
 
You just need to put the total in first and then update it? 
 
Thanks for bringing this up, 
 
Danny. </description>

		<description>I think the reason why donations are below target is that there are too many obstacles to actually donating. I tried to donate but no matter what amount I put in the dialog box, paypal would refresh the page and warn me to enter an amount greater than zero. I want to  let the powers know my concern so it can be fixed but I have to log in using openid, which I hate. That still isn&#039;t enough and I am required to open ANOTHER account and register with intense debate. Three log ins and 10 minutes later, I am frustrated and still haven&#039;t been able to donate. 
I wonder how many people have tried to donate but gave up in silent frustration? In todays economy it is difficult enough to get people to part with their money. It needs to be much easier and faster! </description>
