  Hi! Is there a way to add a “Pin It” icon on the pictures in my posts so that people can pin that picture directly instead of going to the Pinterest widget along the bottom of the post? Thanks!

  Thanks for your suggestion. We’ve registered your suggestion and will keep it in mind for future features and updates!

  Also, don’t forget the ideas forum, where you can discuss your suggestion with the WordPress.com community: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas

  Note that you can add a Pinterest button below each post by heading over to Settings > Sharing:

  Drag the Pinterest button from the Available Services section to the Enabled Services section. This will allow visitors to pin images from your post.

  If you need further help, just let me know!

  The “Pin it” hover button has been added! It now gets auto-enabled if you have connected Pinterest in Settings > Sharing and selected the “Official buttons” option for button style setting.
