  Hey there,

  You can add a Pinterest follow button to any theme on WordPress.com, including Portfolio. Simply add a text widget with the code that Pinterest provides.

  At this time, you cannot add a Pinterest “Pin It” button to your blog.

  Please let me know if I can be of any further help.

  Best,
  P.

  We can use any widget that has pure HTML but we 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.

  Purchasing a premium thame does not provide you with the ability to use any widgets that contain restricted codes like iframes or JavaScript widgets. It does not chnage anything stated here > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  How long does it take for the picture to load on your site?
