  How do I add a Plugins for a Pin It button to my photos?
  My admin home page doesn’t seem to have a plugins option, so I’m not sure how to upload the pin it button to my photos.

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

  It’s on your dashboard Settings->Sharing page.

  Thanks, I see an option to add a pin it button for the entire page but what I was hoping to add is a sort of floating button that would appear on each photo when the mouse hovered over it….
  any suggestions?

  We cannot use JavaScript pin-it widgets or buttons http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#javascript nor can we install any plugins on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. They are for WordPress.ORG installs.

  You can enable sharing icons below your posts by following this guide and when you do that and someone click to share all the images are available and displayed so they can select which one they want to promote by pinning it http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/

  On WordPress.com, you can easily embed your Pinterest profile, boards, or individual pins simply by pasting the links into any post or page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/embed-from-pinterest/

  Link your images to the attachment page when you insert them, then enable the sharing buttons on attachment pages.

  Ah, so the floating pin button is only with the upgrade, I see, thank you all for the tips!

  No. Neither raincoaster or I referred to any upgrade because there isn’t one that changes anything we posted above.

  Sorry, I’m not sure what the difference between .com & .org is. From some of the searching I’ve done the floating button could be purchased (guess thats what I meant by upgrade).
  To be clear, I would not be able to find the Plugins button on my .com page, that would allow me to upload a floating button onto the photos on my blog.
