Updated! – How to Embed a Pinterest Board on Your Blog

How to Embed A Pinterest Board on Your Blog

Hi there! Earlier in January I wrote a post How to Embed a Pinterest Board on Your Blog. At the time the post was specifically for WordPress Users (and Genesis Theme users). But today I am happy to share that the Pinterest Widget Builder page has changed and now ALL Blogger and WordPress Users can easily (we are talking copy and paste!) embed a Pinterest Board in a blog post or sidebar!

All you need to do is head over to the Pinterest Widget Builder Page.

1. Select the kind of widget you would like to build.

2. Paste in the URL for your Pinterest.

3. Chose your size.

4. Click “Build it!”

After you click “Build It!” you will see a small snippet of code. Copy that code and you can place that code in a HTML/Javascript widget (Blogger) or a Text widget (WordPress).

You can also place it into a blog post or page by clicking on the “text” tab while you are composing a post and pasting the code there.

Easy-peasy!

Let me know if you have any questions!

      Looks awesome!!

      I forgot to mention in the post that you can put the html codes for “center” before and after the pinterest code to center the board in you sidebar.
      So add

      before the pinterest code and then add
      at the end. 🙂

      Just a quick tip!

            Sorry. We don’t work on the Weebly platform. We recommend WordPress or Blogger. Thanks! Tauni

    Hi Kendra-I was blown away by this post and the mere possibility of adding a board feed to my blog. I followed your wonderful tutorial, pasting the code into the wordpress text widget, but all those shows up on my blog is text that instructs the reader to follow me on Pinterest. Any thoughts about what I may have done wrong? I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to get this amazing feature to work and any help would be so appreciated. I found your blog for the first time tonight and it is simply fabulous. I will definitely be following along. Thanks again-Lorinda

      Hi Lorinda! Thanks for you nice comments!

      So I think it might be because you have a wordpress.com blog. 🙁

      It is showing the alt text (which says “follow on pinterest”) but it isn’t going to pull up the actual boards. You can read about java script and wordpress.com here >>>

      I just can’t get mine to end up in the sidebar, I can get it to appear on a page. Any further tips? I don’t seem to have a place to paste javascript separately from the board info, so I just end up with a link.

        Sarah, you may be having issues due to the fact that you’re not on a self-hosted WordPress platform. The .com can be very limiting and unfortunately, I am not very familiar with it. Good luck! xo Tauni

    Hi, I gave this a try and I get nothing in my blog post. I was trying to put it in a post. Do I need a plug-in or something else? I must be missing something simple.

      Leah, No. No plug-in requires. It’s pretty straight forward…Sometimes the board will not show up in preview mode, did you try publishing and it still wasn’t there? If that’s the case, it sounds like there is missing code…Good luck! Tauni

        It is so strange, Tauni! I copy and paste the code and it changes it when I go to publish it. I tried publishing it on another older post, but no dice. Oh well!

            Sorry to hear it’s not working for you. You don’t need any special plugins or anything like that. Maybe it has to do with your theme?

    Thanks for sharing the Blogger instructions. I’ve added a Pinterest board to my blog. Plan to add others in future.

    I am excited. Wonder if this will affect my hits on both my blog AND on my Pinterest board. Fingers crossed.

      No. You can embed any Pinterest board on any site. It’s just a matter of inserting the code. –Tauni

    Can you tell me how to do this with a Wix blog? I want to link individual post, like a recipe or craft, and when I do all that comes up on Pinterest is the picture

    Hi, my blog has a grey background n I’d like to blend embedded pins by making Pinterest background transparent. Do you know the code for this, using CSS class, or adding it to the generated code. I’ve found no info how to do it, afraid it’s impossible still.
    Overlay maybe? Can you help? Same goes for Facebook embeds.

      Sorry. No. I don’t know how to create the code that would create a transparent background. Good luck!

    I still can not figure out how to get mine to show up, I am on blogger and did exactly as your directions stated and it still won’t show up.

      Shelby, I know some blogs hosted on blogger have experienced an automatic change in code (caused by blogger). I am not sure why it happens and/or how to fix it, but you might double-check to make sure the code is showing up exactly the same? Without seeing the backend of your code, it’s hard for me to say what the issue might be. Good luck! Tauni
