Week 8 Tech Tip

Embed a Pinterest Pin in a Blog Post

  

STEP ONE: Choose pin. Start by choosing the pin you want to embed. You need to have that pin's page open in one browser tab.

STEP TWO: Pin Builder. Next, open another tab in your browser and go to the Pinterest Widget Builder and choose "pin widget" on the left-hand menu, or else just follow this link: Pin Widget.

STEP THREE: Generate code. In the Pinterest Builder tab, paste in the web address (URL) of the pin you want to display and click "Build it!"  Then, just copy the code from the grey box and paste that into your blog post. For tips on copying and pasting HTML code, see the Embed Board Tech Tip.

STEP FOURPublish post. Now that you have pasted in the pin code, you are ready to publish your post! Did it work? If you see the embedded pin in your post, you're good to go! Make sure to include the phrase "Tech Tip: Embedded Pin" in your blog post title and use "Tech Tip" as the label on the post; then you can do the Declaration.

  1. Hi Mary, I was not sure about this post: the idea is to do a blog post where you include a pin, but I did not see a pin here. Instead of pasting in the instructions, create a post that has a pin in it. Let me know if that makes sense! Maybe you did that in another post, but I wasn't sure why you pasted in this information here...?
