  Hello!
  I’m trying to insert a pinterest widget on my blog , to link to my pinterest profile, but it doesn’t seem to be working, when I use the same procedure as for the other added widgets (bloglovin, fb…)
  What I don’t understand is where to paste the Java script code??
  Thank you for your help!!

  We cannot use JavaScript widgets like the one you ask for provided by Pinterest on WordPress.com blogs for security reasons.

  You can capture a Pinterest image and upload it, link to it and display it in a text widget in your sidebar.
  For creating links in a text widget see:
