This screenshot shows a pin embedded in both my post and in my sidebar widget. Once the post has been saved, published or updated, you will continue to see the preview box in editing mode, but the pin will appear in the live version of the post. This will then update and you will see a preview box. Once the URL has been pasted into your blog, you will just see the URL in the post. You will need to edit it so that it is an http URL, or else it will not work. Second, the URL you copied was a secure https URL. For more URL embed tips, you can check out our previous post Embed Content With Just A URL. First, the pin URL should be pasted onto a line all by itself without anything before or after it. There are a couple important things to note about pasting in the URL. Then, paste the pin’s URL directly into your post. To do that, create a new post or page, or open the existing post/page to edit it.

You can also embed your pin directly into a post or page.

To do that, go to Appearance > Widgets, add a Text widget to your sidebar or other active widget area, paste the embed code into the widget, and save it. Once you copy that code, you can paste it into a Text widget. Once you are on the Widget Builder page, you’ll want to click the Pin Widget button and paste the URL of the pin you want to embed into the Pin URL field.Īfter you click the Build It button, you will be shown a preview of the widget and provided with embed code that you can copy and paste into your site. You may want to bookmark the Widget Builder URL because there is no obvious way to navigate there from the main Pinterest site or from a Pinterest profile page. If you want to add the pin as a sidebar widget, you will then want to go to Pinterest’s Widget Builder. The first step in embedding a single pin from Pinterest is to copy the URL of the pin you want to embed. Below, we’ll first cover the options for embedding a single pin on your blog and then move on to embedding an entire board. You can embed either pins or boards into your blog in just a few steps.

You can link from your blog to your Pinterest boards, but often bloggers like to embed specific pins or entire boards into their blog to create a better user experience for their readers. Pinterest is a popular network that is often used by educators to easily share and curate resources.
