  Hello,

  I’m following instructions from here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/embed-from-pinterest/

  and here: http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/how-to-embed-pinterest-boards-on-your-website-quick-tip

  But it does not seem to be working. Any tips on how to get the Pinterest love on my site?

  The quick tip link you pointed suggests using Javascript but please note that due to the security reasons user created Javascript is not allowed to run on WordPress.com.

  Please read this support document titled Code to understand why Javascript and few other embeds like like Flash are not allowed to run on WordPress.com

  Your next option to include your Pinterest prifle on your blog is via using Create Your Own Widget option which assumes the service ( in this case, Pinterest) offers an alternate ‘plain HTML’ widget.
