    Well, you are much more computer savvy than I am. I have no idea what you just told me to do. But thanks for the try. It seems no buttons that I enabled show up.

    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

    Also, note that you can embed from Pinterest https://en.support.wordpress.com/embed-from-pinterest/
    And here’s the Sharing link https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/

    Thank you so very much. I have a really smart son, so if I can’t fix this, he can. I have enabled it, but didn’t have Pinterest open, so I’ll try that too.
    I was very kind of you to take the time to answer this. Thanks again.
