  Do you mean this blog? http://anastasiaruth.wordpress.com/
  See here for how to link it your your username http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2007/10/06/link-your-username-to-your-blog/

  The pin it button is JavaScript and can be used on WordPress.org installs but not on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There are sharing icons you can enable including a Pinterest one to display at the bottom of your posts by following this guide. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ When you use the Pinterest sharing button on a post, it opens up all images in that post, with the titles below them, so you can select which to pin, and there’s typically a pin for the post itself as well that shows the author Gravatar.

  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.

  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

  This support doc explains how to embed from Pinterest http://en.support.wordpress.com/embed-from-pinterest/

  This one is for Pinterest site verification http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification

  NOTE: Be mindful that some people do not want their original images shared on internet bulletin boards and have copyright licenses that prohibit their sharing.
