  Does anyone know of a way to install a pinterest widget/button to each post of my blog? I’d love to add one!

  You cannot use the Pinterest widget but Pinterest has HTML code for the button that you can use. Go to this site, choose which one of the red Follow Me images you want, and copy it. http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/

  Then, go to your widgets > Appearance > Widgets select a text widget. Paste the code into the widget, save the widget, close the widget and put it where you want in your sidebar (only works in sidebar).

  For god’s sake, just go to your Dashboard->Settings->Sharing and add the Pinterest button that is already built-in. You don’t need a widget.

  Wow raincoaster, thank you for the simple solution, but swearing is truly not necessary. Have a fantastic day!

  hlupu – thank you for the information. HTML coding can get so confusing. :)

  For the record, raincoaster’s info was exactly what I was looking for, and I had gone that route before, but hadn’t seen the Pinterest button. Maybe it’s been added since I set up my settings. Or maybe not. :) Who knows – at least I can claim chemo brain for all my mess-ups right now. LOL
