  How do I add my own personal Pinterest widget to my blog? Pinterest gave me a specific link for my Pinterest account but I can’t link it to my WordPress site. Help would be appreciated. You all are awesome!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Did you check the information in the Embed from Pinterest support document?

  There is no Pinterest widget that we can add to a blog, as far as I know.

  Thanks for responding!

  you’re right that there is no widget for Pinterest. Pinterest does provide a personalized link for widgets but I don’t know where to copy the address. There is not an option on the widgets to add a address for widgets.

  The follow the Pinterest Site Verification instructions provided in the support docs which are all at http://support.wordpress.com
  Go to http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification

  Note that the pin it button is JavaScript and cannot be used on WordPress.COM hosted blogs.

  If the widget code you refer to is JavaScript then you won’t be able to use it in a text widget either.
