  I am trying to figure out how to install a “pin it” button for images I post. I would like to make it easy for myself and visitors to “Pin” my images to Pinterest.

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

  We cannot use JavaScript pin-it widgets nor can we install any plugins so do be clear on that please.

  You can capture an image and upload it, link to it and display it in a text widget. I have done this here in the text widget at the top of my sidebar for those who want to follow me on Pinterest http://thistimethisspace.com/

  For creating links in a text widget see:

  NOTE http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/#adding-an-image

  You can upload image files by clicking the Add Media button right above the editing area of a page or a post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/add-media/

  You can also upload new files to your Media Library using Media → Add New. http://support.wordpress.com/media/media-add-new
