Pinterest Plugin for WordPress

Pinterest is still relatively young in terms of market penetration on the social media scene, but it is definitely growing and fast, as can be seen from this article by Mashable.com.

This means it is worth paying attention to, as it provides opportunities for you and your website to reach new customers – perhaps not always directly, but nevertheless, it is worthwhile taking note of it.

The plugin Pinterest “Pin It” Button can help (NOTE: there is a similarly named plugin, with less good user-ratings, so I suggest you be careful and choose the one with exactly the same title as I have specified here). This is what its description says it can do:

• Add a Simple “Pin It” Button to Your Posts in 2 Minutes!
• “Pin It” Button Features:
• Specify image to pin on each post or…
• Let the reader select an image from a popup
• Show horizontal, vertical or no pin count
• Show or hide the button on any post, page or category
• Add custom CSS to align with other sharing buttons
• Sidebar widget and shortcode included

I hope it helps you generate new business!

P.S. to install a new plugin, go here: www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/plugin-install.php and type the plugin name (if you know it), or relevant search terms, in the plugin search box.

Comment Rules: Imagine you're all at our place for Christmas dinner. Everyone's in a good mood, having fun and being nice to each other. So please be courteous and respectful of others, and have a nice conversation like we would if we were all sat at the same table. Also, if you were sat at our table, you would tell us your real name, so please do the same here. So leave any SPAM at the door as the ham on our table tastes better!
