Can anybody tell me how to get a working paypal donation button for my site? I was planning on doing a charity fund for families in Africa. If every person in the USA would give only one dollar, I could raise millions for Africa. The chance of that happening is pheonominal, but I could raise a lot. Especialy if I expanded my donation range to Canada and other countries!

Sorry, another subject. I kinda wanted to be able to make a minimum donation (making the donators to only pay more than a certain amount... and my minimum donation will be $1).

Reason: change of subject
1) Go to Paypal.com
2) At Tab upper right corner you'll see Products & Services
3) Lower right corner you find: Website Payments Standard
4) Once you're there, click right below the DONATION button and that will be where you'll find the info for getting started with html code
I use paypal quite a bit, and generally - they do a good job. But with what you have in mind, be aware that there is a chance they may freeze your account if an unexpected high volume of payments come in - which is documented here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal#Criticism
I don't mean to put a downer on your plan, as it is extremely admirable, but something that you should be careful of if 'too much comes in too fast'.
