Ok, I found the Pay Pal page again, ( by clicking on one of the Donation sum buttons/blobs ), but it says that the donations are per month; 25$, 50$, etc. Is that right? If pay by Pay Pal it would automatically debit 25$, or whatever, from my a/c every month? 
Is this the case for the credit card payments too? 
I don't want to start filling out the credit card page if this was the case. I don't remember it saying that last time I contributed.
I certainly couldn't pay 25$ per month. I paid 50$ several months ago, and could run to between 5$-10$ per month, but 25$ a month is just way too much.
PS. Even though I had already made a donation by Pay Pal I still found the first page that comes up ( when click on "WP Supporters" ) confusing because it looks as if you can only pay by cheque.

What are people living in Europe, like me, supposed to do? Ordinary cheques from banks here ( especially non-UK ones ), are almost never accepted in the USA, and special international ones/money transfers are very expensive.
Lau is looking into the exchange rate for people not in the States, Ouinon. He is in the UK and is aware of the problem with money exchanges. Sorry for the mistake about taking donations only by check, my mistake.

Super!
So I can pay by Pay Pal or credit card then!
Do I have to pay a fixed monthly amount though? Or can I just pay one-off again like last time/the beginning of the year?
Thanks for the info, corrected info, etc!

Any chance of getting a $10.00 PayPal button?
What if I just occasionally used PayPal to send a contribution to Alex at WP?
Yes, that's exactly what I'd like to know!
I would prefer to pay by Pay Pal again, ( because it's safer, and the exchange is apparently better? ) but I just checked/followed the procedure and there is no option, apparently, to pay less than 25$ per month.
I think a 10$ Pay Pal button would be good, if it's got to be monthly. Otherwise a tri-monthly arrangement for 25$ or something.

we used to have a 'pay anything' donation, I hadn't realized that Alex set it all up for monthly donations only. how limiting!

That is a great idea,
Thank you.
Unfortunately when I paid my WP donation through Pay Pal I didn't have an a/c with them yet; I just did a one-off credit card payment through them, and got a receipt which I long since binned from my inbox. I just looked at my Pay Pal account history, and it doesn't have the WP donation, so no address. So when I tried "Send Money" it couldn't give me the WP address, just a few e-bay ones ( which is what I got it for )!
What email address should I send it to? Anyone know?
... ahh! ( after a rapid reread of the WP Pay Pal page ), Does alex@wrongplanet.net sound right?
... Okay, I think I can do a one-off payment! Thank you, leejosepho, for the Pay Pal "Send Money" suggestion!

no, it does not seem right.
