does anyone know of any widgets that keep track of donations ...

like that isn't javascript....

[franky1]

if you dont like javascript, what language are you looking for?

a simple way in php is to just echo the amount every time a person visits your page

Code:

<?php

$amount=file_get_contents("http://www.blockchain.info/address/<insert address here>");
$amount=$amount / 100;
echo "amount: " .  $amount . " bits";

?>

save it as filename.php

oh and the blockchain.info address shouldend up looking like:
http://www.blockchain.info/address/1blahblahblahblahblah
not
http://www.blockchain.info/address/<1blablablablabla>

as i have seen someone before leave the <> in the code as they thought it was needed.

the code is not the hard part. the hard part is finding a service that doesnt mind being bombarded with balance requests per visitor... well thats if your website got that popular

Totally forgot about this!  I'll give this a go and let you know! thanks.
