  Hi there,
  Blogger posted JavaScript and cannot be used on free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  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:

  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

  Thanks for your response. I have done the pintrest icon route already, i just wanted to add the widget, similar to the facebook one….

  Another question:

  I got a link to the wordpress follow button and i tried to copy and paste the code, and it is not allowing me, it deletes it similar to the pintrest scenario…is it only .org users able to use the wordpress follow button?

  Thats the link i tried (http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/10/30/embed-follow-button/) and it just erases some part of it, i get the same response, when i view my page, i only see the text i pasted instead of the follow button
