  Hi, I’ve been having problems to embed several types of content. For example I can’t embed a pinterest board or a voki avatar.
  Look forward to getting some help.

  Embed from Pinterest https://en.support.wordpress.com/embed-from-pinterest/ You can also add Pinterest sharing buttons (including “Pin It” hover buttons for images) and you can verify your site with Pinterest.

  Voki avatars are JavaScript and that code cannot be used on WordPress.com blogs for security reasons.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on WordPress.COM blogs. For your WordPress.COM blog you have three free workaround forum options: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/04/23/wordpress-com-forum-options/
  One approach is to register a forum on the internet and then create a custom menu in your blog and include a custom link to the forum in it.

  The Tlk.io widget allows you to embed a web chat in your WordPress.COM hosted blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/tlk-io-widget/ There are no other chat options I know of that work on WordPress.COM blogs at this time.

  @timethief:

  The current hints at https://en.support.wordpress.com/embed-from-pinterest/ dont’work at all! I have already repeat the same procedure a lot: to take off hyperlinks. Ok, when I hover, no link! But, when I go to preview of the post, just appears the link.

  Why not a shortcode for pins and boards?

  @ebraelshaddai — Can you please tell me the name of a draft post where you tried to embed from Pinterest and it didn’t work for you? That way I can take a closer look at that post to see what’s going on.
