Friends,

we have good news! From now on, it’s become easier to support your favorite LJ blogger and send them a donation.

What is a donation, how to send one, and how to add a button for receiving donations if you’re an author? You’re gonna learn soon!

So if we are in the US, and cannot pay in Rubles, is this even an option?

That might be why my paypal links aren't working. I'm d/l-ing Ko-fi to see if that one works. The donations would come to us directly.

[misstia]

Ko-fi didn't work either :( I think it's because most sites aren't working with Russia. I know LJ is in an awkward position; but it'd be nice to know which one would work for Americans or others in the world. I know there's some countries who haven't cut Russia off to the extent the US has.

Please, make sure that you add Ko-fi link with https. It should look like this: https://ko-fi.com/****

For Paypal, a correct link looks like this: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/*****

Thank you for this! It's not accepting any link I give for paypal however. Link for paypal me, link from donate button, nada.

ETA: I create a Ko-fi account and that link was also rejected. Is it because I'm in the US? Is there a site that will work? I totally understand there's things out of your control and respect your continued hard work on LJ! Is there any of the options that would work? I'd love to have this on my Vintage Ads community!

Finally, I can make my fortune.

It seems like my PayPal link is to long!

[frank]

That's strange, there is no limits for link's length. Please, make sure that you use PayPal link like this: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/*****
