Tuition Funding Part III - "A little help from my friends"

A friend suggested using PayPal for donations.

Seems reasonable. Nice web site, but hard to get all the information in one place. For example, there is a tricky caveat about the type of account you need to actually receive the money that is donated.

Then the widget is only a beta version, and yes, there are some issues. For example, it asks for a description, but the icon doesn't seem to show it. Then it gives you option to add dollars amounts, but they aren't showing up. And finally, when you set a goal amount, it doesn't seem to display the actual amount you set. Why?

Well, I'll happily post answers as things progress and my "education" continues.
