  We cannot use JavaScript pin-it widgets or buttons http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#javascript nor can we install any plugins on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. They are for WordPress.ORG installs.
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can capture an image of a Pinterest icon 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/ and here on my About page
  http://thistimethisspace.com/about/

  For creating links in a text widget see:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/text-widget-links/
  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

  For troubleshooting see http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/troubleshooting-images/

  You can enable sharing icons below your posts by following this guide and when you do that and someone click to share all the images are available and displayed so they can select which one they want to promote by pinning it http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/

  On WordPress.com, you can easily embed your Pinterest profile, boards, or individual pins simply by pasting the links into any post or page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/embed-from-pinterest/

  I don’t experience anything strange.

  You cannot it without an upgrade. As I don’t help with CSS editing I don’t know if what you want to do is possible. See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom and CSS editing:

  To get a definitive answer from those who do help with CSS editing please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum.
