Pinterest Widget, or Goodreads Button
-
It’s odd to me that I can add a Goodreads widget, but the Goodreads button isn’t available.
In addition, I can have the Pinterest button, but I can’t have a Pinterest widget that shows a board on my Pinterest account.
However, Twitter is available in both a button and a widget.
Unless I’m missing something, this is very convoluted.

Have you consulted the relevant support doc for the Goodreads widget at https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/goodreads-widget/? There is no goodreads button.

There is no Pinterest widget. The only code that will work for Pinterest site verification of a wordpress.comblog is described here https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification and you must be logged into Pinterest when you are trying to verify?
The Pinterest “Pin It” hover button will automatically appear on your WordPress.com blog if you have added Pinterest as a sharing button on your Settings > Sharing page and if you are also using the “Official buttons” for the style of the buttons (you can change it on that same settings page).
We can hover over any image in a post and pin it if we are logged into Pinterest. If you have enabled the official buttons for sharing, a “Pin It” hover button will automatically appear for your images. https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ All we do after clicking the share button is choose one of the images displayed in the post to pin. It’s as easy as pie. ;)
See how to install the Pinterest browser button:
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Internet Explorer
Safari
Microsoft Edge

Thanks! I do have the Goodreads widget. Initially I was looking for a Goodreads button, for the bottom of my page.
For Pinterest, I actually wanted a widget, that way I could tie my boards to my blog, as they’re of similar nature. I was hoping for something similar to the widget available for Instagram.
Thank you for your help, though. Very appreciated. :)
