Pinning images
-
I want to pin images from my blog to pinterest (leslienelsonctc) but when I click my pin it button, the only image that appears is my profile image. Is there a setting I can check to make all of my pictures shareable?
Blog url: http://blogtrottingwithles.wordpress.com/The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
You can use any widget that has pure HTML but you cannot use any widgets that contain restricted codes like iframes or JavaScript widgets. You cannot use the Pin-it Javascript code on a WordPress.com blog.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/You can put the code for the Pinterest follow button in a text widget.
1. Go to this site, choose which one of the red Follow Me images you want, and copy the code for it. http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/2. Then, go to your widgets > Appearance > Widgets and select a text widget.http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/
3. Paste the Pinterest follow button code into the text widget, “save” the widget, “close” the widget and place it where you want it to display in your sidebar.

Thanks. If I’m understanding you correctly, this allows me to put a Pin it or follow me widget at the bottom of my blog, but not with individual images. But what I want is to be able to click pin it while viewing my blog and be able to move those pictures from the blog TO pinterest. It seems to only work from the other direction. Do I have this right, or am I missing something?

See number 4 on TT’s suggestions. That will work for a particular post. If you want each image separately pinnable, you have to put them each in a separate post (I have a vague recollection that the sharing options allow you to add sharing buttons to individual media as well, but am not sure if that’s for WP.com or .org).
