  Hello!
  Is there a way to allow people to pin my pictures simply by hovering over the picture? On other websites and blogs you can hover over the picture and a little ‘pin it’ button comes up on the picture. I am wanting to do this as well but my plan is the free plan so I don’t know if I can. Thanks!

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

  The only code that will work for Pinterest site verification of a wordpress.comblog is described here https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification and you must be logged into Pinterest when you are trying to verify?

  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).

  We can hover over any image in a post and pin it if we are logged into Pinterest. If you have enabled the official buttons for sharing, a “Pin It” hover button will automatically appear for your images. https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ All we do after clicking the share button is choose one of the images displayed in the post to pin. It’s as easy as pie. ;)

  See how to install the Pinterest browser button:
  Google Chrome
  Mozilla Firefox
  Internet Explorer
  Safari
  Microsoft Edge

  Also, note that you can embed from Pinterest https://en.support.wordpress.com/embed-from-pinterest/
