How to Add [Pinterest] Pin It Button for Web Sites

Posted on May 2 2012 - 3:35pm by Alex Technology

Add a Pin It button to invite your readers to pin your work onto Pinterest.

The Pin It button is made to look and feel like the Facebook and Twitter buttons your readers already use. For best results, place the Pin It button near your other social sharing tools.

 
Descriptions are optional but recommended; they will make pinning much easier for your users.

Add this code to your page, right where you want the button to appear:

<a href=”http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/” count-layout=”horizontal”><img border=”0″ src=”//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png” title=”Pin It” /></a>Add this code to your page only once, directly above the closing </BODY> tag:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js”></script>

Important: you can have as many Pin It buttons on a page as you like, but you only need to include the JavaScript once!
