 * Hello,
 * This is my first time trying to make a widget so I am a little confused. I was
   able to install “Pin It” on my blog and I have the Pin it button at the end of
   each of my posts, and it is connected to my Pinterest. However, I would like 
   to make a Widget to put on my menu on the right of my homepage. I tried dragging
   the file over and pressing add widget but nothing is happening.
 * Can someone walk me through this?

 * Does the theme you are using have widget areas setup? When you drag the “Pinterest
   Pin It Button” widget from the left to an available area on the right side it
   should come up with a bunch of options like title, pin count, size, shape, etc
   etc.
 * Are you able to see those options?
