  Hi there,

  I visited your site. I see what you reported about the Pinterest icon not showing up.

  What instructions did you follow? Are the instructions for a specific theme or for a custom menu?

  Thanks,
  mark

  Hi duchessgt,

  In your social links menu, change the url for Pinterest from:

  https://www.pinterest.se/frugt/

  To

  https://www.pinterest.com/frugt/

  Then it will show as an icon on your menu.

  @duchessgt
  You need to set up your theme. Nothing is found because you have not published a post yet.

  The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multi user software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page and this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/snaps That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://snapsdemo.wordpress.com/

  All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/

  Use the tutorial at https://learn.wordpress.com for getting started.

  Om my god, thank you so much for the help ohheyitsdaphney!! Of course it had to do with the “.se” vs “.com” and I would have never figured that out, so thank you! Thank you to the other members that tried to help me, I’m new to WordPress and will surely ask more questions later:)

  @duchessgt,

  You’re welcome. :)

  To get more familiar with WordPress, I would go through the links that @timethief provided. Start with the last link, the tutorial will give you a good overview of the features of WordPress. Once you’ve completed the tutorial, head to your theme description page to learn about the features of your theme, then the support docs.

  Those docs will give you a good overview of how WordPress works and you should start to feel comfortable with it.
