  We can’t really answer any questions without a link to the blog, starting with http. The answer depends on the blog.

  when on the dashboard you have the menu to the left – almost at the bottom you have “Settings” –> click on it –> it will expand and then you see “Sharing” –> click on that and you have all the possibilities including pinterest

  you just drag pinterest and all the rest you want down from available services to enabled services

  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.

  You can also add a Pinterest sharing button below your posts > Sharing as stefansphotos has pointed out above.

  We cannot post JavaScript buttons on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. The software strips the code out to preseve security and stability on this multiuser blogging platform.
