This is a wpMU (wordpress multi-user) blogging platform. Our blogs are not free standing. All blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template. Only Staff can access the templates files and edit the metadata.

Why support it for Google and Bing and not Pinterest? It is overkill to propose switching to self-hosting for such a small issue.

Google and Bing are search engines. They have access so our content on public blogs can be indexed.

Pinterest is not a search engine. Pinterest now has have two sets of terms—one for people and one for businesses.

Your issue is not an access to metadata for verification purposes issue.

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.

I'm sorry but this isn't a WordPress.com issue per say. This is a multi-user blogging platform. As our blogs are not free standing we cannot access metadata and add anything to it or edit it. For that kind of verification access you will need to hire a web hosted and set up your own independent WordPress.org install.

I always upload my photos with EXIF intact. However, recently it becomes inconsistent -- some of the photos are missing the EXIF(s).

Here are the examples on my blog:
- Posts dated 15 and 16 October have EXIF
- Post dated 17 October doesn't.
- Post dated 18, 19, 22 October have EXIF
- Post dated 23 and 24 don't.

For more information, I always upload the photos/posts using the same methods. I edit the photos and then resize it to 950 pixel at the longest (the theme can get up to 960 pixels). I then use BlogDesk to upload them. It works okay until recently.

Is this WordPress issue or BlogDesk? Any help? Thanks.
