Are you sure that chip in is correct? Because I donated to that thing hours ago and it still shows 0?

Also you can add the widget in the story under HTML

First, I was told that I needed a 'goal' to make the graph move.  I set the goal (way high too) but that didn't help.  At least today the goal shows.  In investigating why, I think it's because my PayPal account isn't 'verified', and the donations are there, but I can't access them until I link a bank account or credit card to it.

I have listed this, along with your and everyone's donations so far on the 'Chip-In page':

You will see your donation listed there (thank you very much, Bro!).

If you can assist PLEASE call me or let me know somehow.

This is my first Chip-In because in the past I would rather have used my own money (which I did) than ask others and be looked down upon as someone trying to make a buck off the Movement.

I know you quite well, and if I told you how many man-hours I've worked and how much I spent out of pocket these last five years, there is just one word you would reply with.

Sick.  

 Please see the updates on my Chip-In page for the continuing saga of why Ed's widget doesn't move, and an accounting of all donations received to date:

I'm working on it!

UPDATE: I finally got my SS card in the mail, and my bank account is live.  I plugged the numbers into my PayPal account, and thought it would start processing the amounts given so far.

Not so fast, Ed!  PayPal now tells me that they have sent two 'deposits' of less than 1 dollar (which they withdrew immediately) and want me to put these two sums into a confirmation window to make sure this is 'my' account.  It also says "it may take 2 to 3 days for this to show up"!  One more hurdle to jump, one more flaming hoop, one more one more one more!

I'll make that widget move if it's the last thing I do.

This is standard for many different kinds of electronic currency accounts - the two little fees, I mean. There are even some banks that do this with debit cards to be sure that you are the one who received the debit card. Mostly it is done if you get a debit card from a bank in a different country than the one your address is listed in. It is nothing.

Thanks PT - a friend of mine told me they did this with him when he opened his Ebay account.   It's just frustrating that I started this effort over a week ago and still wading through 'processes', and I don't want to promote it further until I get everything running properly.

That, plus I want to get going on making the banners!
