Code it Pretty: Add Pin It Buttons to Your Blogger Posts

I've been trying for a while (not in a very determined way, mind you) to add a Pin It button to the blog. Now - Blogger (Google's blog app) is not known for easy customization and I do have friends who swear by Wordpress. It's just that I have so much information already in here, I don't even want to think to move it over (I have moving things: virtually or physically).

Tonight I was determined to succeed - probably because my piano practice was going down the drain and I can't for the life in me remember more than a few measures (I have 4 pages to memorize until next week!).

I've searched 'how to add a pin it button to blogger' and I started following advice... and following... and nothing worked. Now I was almost mad: I *must* succeed, something *has* to work properly today!

  1. Way to go - being persistent has sure paid off! I'm impressed that you got the PinIt button to work - it will be so helpful for promoting posts on your blog. I'll admit I have to get professional technical help for many of my blog (Wordpress) updates. Luckily I have an excellent web designer/developer.
