  Unfortunately, the pinterest share button that is included in wordpress does not pull up all the images on a page. A hover button will make it easier for visitors of the site to choose the image they would like to pin and help build traffic for the wordpress user.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We already have it. The Pinterest “Pin It” hover button will automatically appear on your WordPress.com blog if you have added Pinterest as a sharing button on your Settings > Sharing page and if you are also using the “Official buttons” for the style of the buttons (you can change it on that same settings page).

  Added information:
  The follow the Pinterest Site Verification instructions provided in the support docs which are all at http://support.wordpress.com
  Go to http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification

  Go to Dashboard > Sharing please and use this guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/#customize-your-services to enable a sharing icon so it will display under each post.

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

  Be aware that there is a browser add-on visitors can use to pin images. https://help.pinterest.com/en/articles/add-pin-it-button-your-browser#Web
