  You cannot add any widgets that run on JavaScript as the software will strip out the code. You can post a Pinterest button as it’s not JavaScript. You cannot use the Pinterest widget.

  You can put the code for the Pinterest follow button in a text widget. Go to this site, choose which one of the red Follow Me images you want, and copy it. http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/

  Then, go to your widgets > Appearance > Widgets and select a text widget Go to this site, choose which one of the red Follow Me images you want, and copy it. http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/

  Then, go to your widgets and pick Text/HTML. (arbitrary text or html)
  Paste the code into the widget, save the widget, close the widget and put it where you want in your sidebar (only works in sidebar). http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/
