  I cannot figure out how to add a “Follow me on Pinterest” button on my blog. I know how to create a widget using the Pinterest website, but I have no idea where to put it when I get to the widget page. I tried the “images” widget, but that didn’t work. Twitter was easy to install, but I cannot seem to figure out Pinterest. Any help you could give me would be appreciated.

  Hi there,

  If you are using the Pinterest widget code from this Pinterest page, you will not be able to use that widget on your WordPress.com blog because we remove JavaScript tags for security reasons.

  You can read more about this here: Code

  However, you are welcome to use a text link or upload an image and create an image link that links to your Pinterest page. I hope this helps!

  Thank you so much for your help! I found help at http://www.bloggersentral.com/2012/02/how-to-add-pinterest-follow-button.html and it was really easy to put the widget in the the ‘text’ widget. It came right up!
