Would be great to have a sharing/publicize button for each post available for Pininterest.

Actually, you can add virtually any sharing service very easily:

Hi again,
Understood. Sorry, I should have checked your blog first to see if you have posted the pinterest “follow” widget.

@air thanks, i tried that but didn’t have a “sharing URL” that would do a direct pin. maybe you know how?

@yogiclarebear: It looks like the Pinterest “Pin it” button uses JavaScript. I don’t know of a way to get an http:// URL that you could use on Settings > Sharing. Sorry.

(Hence me saying “virtually any service”, because there are always exceptions…)

I was hoping to request it from the developers. Is this not the right place to do that?

@yogiclarebear: Yeah it is. It’s just that I thought this could have been something for you to do right away (but it turns out it wasn’t).

I too would like to add Pinterest next to the facebook, twitter, etc. icons at the bottom of each post, to make a direct pin as @yogiclarebear said. If more people request it, is it likely to move up on the list for the developers? :)

Hello there,
Some how you folks are completely missing the point here. you can add virtually any sharing service very easily as airodyssey said above: http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/#adding-your-own-service All you have to do is capture an image of the button and follow the instructions.

@timethief: Please see the response I posted after I suggested adding a custom service.

I would like to get this sharing button, too. I added a custom Share button but with that the pin count won’t work and it only allows really tiny icons. To be able to add the ‘real’ Pin it Button (as shown on the pinterest goodies page) with just one drag would be so much nicer. ^^

I would also like to have Pinterest sharing services enabled! Thanks!

The real pin it button is JavaScript and we cannot use it on free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons.
