  I am trying to connect my Pinterest account to my blog. I cant find the Plugins tab in the dashboard.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Howdy, what type of connection are you looking to set up with Pinterest?

  Currently you can use our sharing tools to add a button to posts that lets readers share your posts on Pinterest. There is not a way to set up posts on WordPress.com to automatically publish to Pinterest, though.

  Hi! Thanks for that information. Very helpful, but I was wondering if there was a link to direct followers to my personal Pinterest page so they could follow me on that. Like a part where it says “follow me on Pinterest’ ect?

  Thank you again!

  We don’t have a sharing setting for that specifically, but you could use a link or image widget to do the same thing!

  Here’s more information about how to use the image widget: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/image-widget/

  You could set this on your homepage (Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets), and use a caption with it (built-in feature) to say “follow my Pinterest page” or whatever you would like, with a URL for the image. You’d have to find a Pinterest image that you like (or you can use any image that’s eye-catching, I suppose).

  Does that help?
