I just saw from another thread that WordPress doesn't support java script code. I guess this is why it doesn't work.

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/
Generated a preview of the button to look like here:
http://business.pinterest.com/widget-builder/#do_follow_me_button
and then I took a screen shot of that button and save it.
Upload the image as a jpeg into your Media Library and next you will then add the image (with a link to your pinterest page) into a text widget.

2. 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.
