  How do you put a Pinterest widget on my blog? I have the HTML code from Pinterest and I just need to know what widget to select from the dashboard. Here is HTML code for my Pinterest account that I want to be on the sidebar of this blog (www.evanstoncommunitykitchen.wordpress.com):

  Visit Community’s profile on Pinterest.<!– Please call pinit.js only once per page –><script type=”text/javascript” async src=”//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js”></script>

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Is there just a simple way to email wordpress when you have a question? It seems like a rabbit hole where they try to distract you with all this techy stuff. I like good old fashioned help desks where I can talk to a human being. An email address would suffice!

  Ditto to everything you just said, memomuse!

  Search first please – Pinterest widget on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. There are code restrictions here and that’s why the widget will not operate. The pin it button is JavaScript and so is the Pinterest widget so they cannot be used on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. Read:

  You can go to Dashboard > Sharing please and use this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/#customize-your-services to enable a sharing icon so it will display under each post.

  For verifying with Pinterest see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification

  Otherwise you can hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting and set up your own WordPress.ORG install. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
