    Hi there!

    It sounds like you want to have a Pinterest share link at the bottom of your posts. You can do this through your dashboard at Settings > Sharing. Just drag the Pinterest button from ‘Available services’ to ‘Enabled services.’

    Add Social Share Buttons

    There a few different options for how these buttons will display. Your choices are

    – Icon + text
    – Icon only
    – Text only
    – Official buttons

    If you choose ‘Official buttons’ your buttons will display the number of shares in real-time on your blog, as reported by the specific service. This will also make the Pinterest button say ‘Pin it’ instead of ‘Pinterest,’ as you can see here:

    There are a couple other ways that you can integrate your Pinterest account with your WordPress.com site:

    1. You can verify your website with Pinterest! This will give you a little bit more information about the visitors who get to your blog through Pinterest:

    2. You can embed your Pinterest profile, boards, or individual pins. We have some directions on how to do this here:
