Why can't I have a Pin It button on my blog?
-
I’m unable to connect my Pinterest account to my blog; I’ve been able to do Facebook, Twitter and Google+ but Pinterest doesn’t seem to be available.
I’m also not able to use my meta code.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

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

The problem is that under the “Sharing” page of the dashboard, I don’t have Pinterest, so can’t add or verify it to my page. I’m looking for a solution that lets me add it. I’ve got several other platforms that I’ve connected without a problem, but Pinterest just doesn’t seem to be available. :-/

I don’t have this as an option. I understand what you’re saying, and I’m fairly tech savvy, but Pinterest is not an application it will let me add.

all done, cheers.
Seems it logged me out sporadically so wasn’t giving me access to things I should – strangest thing I’ve ever seen!
Thanks!

Alleluia! I see the pinit button on your site.
Sporadic logging out is usually a connectivity issue.
