  Hello there,
  You can use any widget that has pure HTML on your free hosted WordPress.com blog 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.

  4. Please see here for enabling sharing buttons including Pinterest on your blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/

  5. Since November 15th Pinterest has been rolling out business accounts and requiring the verification for those accounts.

  We now have two sets of terms—one for people and one for businesses.

  Pinterest does not require that you have a business account. You can have an ordinary account for “people”.

  Hi there,
  As we don’t really know if the blogger is asking about verifying a Pinterest business account, or was asking about posting a sharing button at the end of their posts, I thought it was important to provide all the information for full integration with Pinterest.
