  Have you noted this support doc for the only Pinterest embeds that will work on wordpress.COM sites? https://en.support.wordpress.com/embed-from-pinterest/

  Create a draft post first and create the links in it. Then switch to the HTML editor and copy that code. Paste it into the text widget and delete the draft post.

  See the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

  This is the general link model:

  <a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>

  This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked here in the forum.

  1. Enter the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “here” is not a good choice. Use relevant anchor text to link to.
  2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
  3. Next, click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.
