  Hi, I would like to add an Etsy shop badge to my site, but I’m not sure how I can do that. Can you help?

  Also, on Pinterest I was trying to add my site as a verified site but they instructed that I add some code to my header html. Not sure how to do that either. Please let me know if you can assist with this as well.

  Thank you!
  Liz

  A badge or button or icon is simply an image that you link to. You can capture an image and upload it, link to it and display it in a text widget.

  For creating links in a text widget see:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/
  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

  Also, on Pinterest I was trying to add my site as a verified site but they instructed that I add some code to my header html.

  That code will not work.

  The only code that will work for Pinterest site verification of a wordpress.comblog is described here https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification and you must be logged into Pinterest when you are trying to verify?

  The Pinterest “Pin It” hover button will automatically appear on your WordPress.com blog if you have added Pinterest as a sharing button on your Settings > Sharing page and if you are also using the “Official buttons” for the style of the buttons (you can change it on that same settings page).

  We can hover over any image in a post and pin it if we are logged into Pinterest. If you have enabled the official buttons for sharing, a “Pin It” hover button will automatically appear for your images. https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ All we do after clicking the share button is choose one of the images displayed in the post to pin. It’s as easy as pie. ;)

  See how to install the Pinterest browser button:
  Google Chrome
  Mozilla Firefox
  Internet Explorer
  Safari
  Microsoft Edge

  Also, note that you can embed from Pinterest https://en.support.wordpress.com/embed-from-pinterest/
