  Hi-

  I was just wondering how I can go about adding the Pinterest button to my blog. I’m using the Manifest theme, if that matters at all…

  Thanks!

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

  Hi – do you mean to allow others to share your blog via Pinterest? Did you check Settings > Sharing >Sharing Buttons ?

  You can use any widget that has pure HTML but you cannot use any widgets that contain restricted codes like iframes or JavaScript widgets. In the case of Pinterest, you cannot use the Pin-it Javascript code on a WordPress.com blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  But you can put the code for the Pinterest follow button in a text widget.

  1. Go to this site, choose which one of the red Follow Me images you want, and copy the code for it. http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/

  2. Then, go to your widgets > Appearance > Widgets and select a text widget.http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

  3. Paste the Pinterest follow button code into the text widget, “save” the widget, “close” the widget and place it where you want it to display in your sidebar.
