HOW TO: add the Pin It hover button to your blog images

So last week I worked out how to add a pinterest button to my photos, you know, so you can pin your little hearts out with the recipes and images that you find here.  Not sure what I'm talking about?  Hover your mouse over the image below now and in the top right hand corner a pinterest icon will appear.  Simply click on it and the image will be stored to any one of your pinterest boards!  

Malteser Cake I made for Bailey's Keep Calm and Cold Rock On party last year.

Anyway the lovely Nikki from A Little Bit Of Quiet was keen to know how to do it too, so here's what I did....

I googled 'how to add a pinterest button to your blogger blog' and found this article from Blogger Sentral.  All the easy to follow instructions are there for you.  It should only take you about 5 minutes and BAM!  You'll have your own Pinterest Hover Button too.  Happy Days!

  1. Not sure if this will work for me. All the images on my blog are actually on Flickr, and then I embed them into my posts - I started doing this because images chewed through my hosting space (is that the right term?!) like nothing else! Within 6 weeks I'd used 100mb!

    Just noticed I'm on your Blogs I Love list too - thank you so much! :-)

  2. That sounds like a very professional set up Janet! I really need to get my act together and move this blog to Wordpress and do fancy things like embed my photos because you're spot on - the images sure do chew through the storage/hosting space.

    And you're welcome re: being on the Blog Roll...us Redlands chicks need to stick together :)
