  Hi Candy.

  Let’s start with Pinterest, we can then go through trouble with other services together. :)

  In your profile on Pinterest, could you please make sure that enthusiasticgardener.wordpress.com is entered in the Website field without https or www in front of it?

  If you click ‘Verify Website’ from there, you’ll be provided with the verification code that you can add via Tools > Available Tools in WP Admin:

  https://enthusiasticgardener.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php

  Entering the verification code through WordPress.com should then add allow you to complete the process. Can you let me know how you get on with that or if you hit a block with any parts? I’ll be happy to help further.

  OK, I think you have found the problem, thank you. My main blog has another name; I assume therefore that I can only verify that blog with Pinterest, and from the main blog direct people to enthusiasticgardener.

  Hi Candy.

  Pinterest only allows one website to be entered on their end, but you can choose whichever WordPress.com site you wish to enter, it’s not necessary for it to be your main one. Let me know if that helps or if you have extra questions.
