Tutorial: Adding the Pin It Button to Blog Post Pictures

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

My bestie has been committed to my linky party on Friday's where we choose something we have pinned, actually do it, and then share it on our blog [Pin it and Do it Friday].  Please feel free to add your link and share what you have done to the post this coming Friday.

Well, the other day she was asking me how to add the pin it button to pictures she posts on her blog and it was kind of hard explaining it so I decided to just write a tutorial on how to do it.

Here is an example of the pin it button underneath a picture from the post Housewarming Party Ideas.

When you click the Pin it button, this small window shows up and whoever is visiting your site can automatically pin the picture right to their board.  Pretty convenient right?!  I thought so to.

So here is the how to.  When you have finished writing and publishing a post, go to pinterest, hover over the About, and click the Pin it Button.  Scroll down until you reach the section titled Pin it Button for Websites.

1. Copy and paste the URL of the blog post.
2. Copy and paste the URL of the picture that is in the post [to be explained in the next step].
3. Add the description of the picture.
4.  Select how you want the count to be shown.
5. Select the advanced option.

Don't know how to get the URL of the picture?  Go to the post, right click on the picture you want to use, and select the copy link location.  Go back to the pinterest page and paste the URL [Step 2 above].

Still with me?  Okay almost done.  Now Pinterest generates the code for you so copy the entire thing and you will paste it to the HTML section of the post.

Don't know what I am talking about?  Let me show you.  Lets say I want the Pin it Button right above this picture.  I make a mental note of the last word before the picture which is HERE.  Click the HTML button that shows you those crazy HTML codes and I find that word HERE [I highlighted it].  I will then paste the pinterest code I copied right after the <br>.

Update or publish the post again and the pin it button will appear right where you put it!  In my case, right above the picture.

I know it sounds really complicated, especially if you aren't computer savvy like myself.  It took some trial and error for me to figure this out.  This is part of why I wrote out the step by step to help.  Just follow it and before you know it, it will be second nature.  It really doesn't take that long to do.

    1. I am AMMA MARIA. I'm from america. I was going crazy when my husband left me and my two kids for another woman 2 weeks ago after 17years of marriage. We had a lovely marriage but he started a relationship with a co worker who chased after him. He is living away OUR home and refuses to talk to me or to come home. I was devastated and am finding it hard to cope . I wish I did not love him and that I could move on but I can't. I starting to feel ill. I have begged him to come home all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr Larry can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he did a spell for me. 4days later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Larry. If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you. if you have any problem contact him, I give you 100% guarantee that he will help you, Email him at: assurancesolutionhome@gmail.com you can call or Add him on Whatsapp +1(424)-261-8520

  5. Pinwords is a really basic tool, but it̢۪s great if you want to quickly make an image from a quote and add it to your Pinterest account. Pinstamatic actually lets you

    create a whole bunch of items to add to your Pinterest boards including website snapshots, pins of Twitter profiles and Spotify tracks that you can pin.
