Adding the Pinterest widget to sidebar
-
I was playing around on my Pinterest and came across the Pinterest widget, which seemed like an easy enough thing to embed in my blog sidebar. Alas, it is not. I have read countless posts and all sorts of contradictory information. I do not want to embed in my posts or pages — I am looking for a widget similar to the Instagram and Twitter ones, that automatically update and let users see a bit of those profiles.
Does anyone know how to do this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Using the Pinterest widget provided by Pinterest for free standing sites is not possible on a WordPress.COM blog as the code is JavaScript and it’s stripped out by the software to preserve security on this multiuser blogging platform

Thanks timethief :) Managed to find a way to do what I want — just use the Flickr widget and insert your Pinterest rss. All the instructions are here: http://gretchenlouise.com/how-to-display-your-latest-pinterest-pins-in-a-wordpress-com-widget/
