  Hello there,
  You can use any widget that has pure HTML but you cannot use any widgets that contain restricted codes like iframes or JavaScript widgets. In the case of Pinterest, you cannot use the Pin-it Javascript code on a WordPress.com blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  But 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.

  this might be a bit complicated for me .. I guess I am wondering why previous images taken by me with my camera were shared on pinterest and current images are not going to my pinterest board

  I don’t know how to help you so I flagged this thread for Staff attention.

  Are you using the Pinterest button at the bottom of the posts, for example http://not-going-out-like-that.com/2012/10/15/houndstooth-stripes-mixing-patterns/ ?

  I am trying to pin my own original photos that I have put on my blog from Flickr and they are not allowing me to pin the photo that I want. I have the pinterest button at the bottom of each of my posts, but I would like to be able to pick which photo I pin. How can I fix this?

  My blog can be found here: http://acookingmizer.wordpress.com

  It won’t work at WordPress.com where you can’t use plugins.

  And you cannot pin from WordPress images hotlinked from elsewhere.
