  Hi there,

  I’m not sure what you mean by upload your blogs to Pinterest, but you can pin your posts to Pinterest as seen here:

  Add Social Share Buttons

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  I have the pintrest share button on my website; however, when its clicked it only pins the picture from the blog, not the blog text. This is my problem that I am struggling to figure out.

  Can you show me a screencast of this happening? Please upload it to your Media > Library page and I’d be happy to take a further look.

  Cheers!

  So I went to my blog, clicked the “pin it” button and this is what comes up

  I added this to my media > library as well.

  So currently we have changed how the Pinterest share button works. It was changed as many of our users asked to Pin just the image as Pinterest is mostly based on images.

  Is there any way I can get that changed for my website? I ask because I want a strong social media presence and pintrest is huge right now and people being able to see my blogs (with text) would be fantastic.

  I’m afraid that’s not how Pinterest works. When you create the pin, you can include an excerpt of the post in the description box. When visitors click on your pin they will also be directed back to your website. This is to your advantage because it means Pinterest users don’t just read your post on Pinterest, they click on it and see the rest of your website.
