can’t get Pinterest board to display w/in a PAGE

Hello there.

I’m not the most technically competent person, perhaps you can help.

I’ve managed to get the widget (display a Pinterest board) working on my sidebar. So far, so good.

But what I want to do is display Pinterest things (a board, or a pin, etc.) inside a PAGE or a BLOG POST, not in a widget area like the sidebar.

So I looked at the “settings” for the widget, and I’m trying to make sense of it.

Firstly, the “General” section:

What does it mean to “Disable the output of pinit.js”? This is Sanskrit, to me. Should I just leave it unchecked?

Secondly, I am baffled by the “Shortcode Help” section (for “Follow Button”, “Pin Widget”, “Board Widget”, and “Profile Widget”).

To take the example for “Board”, it shows the following:

This also makes little sense to me. I’m a WordPress newbie (not a computer programmer) and I don’t understand what shortcodes are, or how to use them.

So I tried putting the characters “[pin_board]” (not including the quotes) into my Page, and nothing happens. When i preview the Page, I don’t even see those characters. There’s nothing.

Hmm… well, the widget Settings also say:

“Use the function <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[pin_board]’); ?> to display within template or theme files.”

Here, too, I don’t know what to do.

So, I’m stuck. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Please don’t suggest I should just go back to WordPress.COM instead of self-hosted WordPress, because I really need to stick with self-hosted.

Muchos gracias!
