If you have been trying to get a Pinterest button on a Blogger blog that takes a reader to your Pinterest page,  here’s a simple how-2-do-it that does NOT require HTML code!

I was reading some of the blogs of my SheWrites friends and noticed Leah Singer had a ‘Pinterest’ button on her blog, so I sent her a inquiry about how she’d done it and she quickly responded and provided a jpg of the logo. I also snipped the logo on EverythingEtsy, made a jpg of it to give you two choices of buttons, or you might have other ideas for grabbing a Pinterest logo of choice.

Making a NO HTML Pinterest Button

1. 
2. 
3. Save one of the jpgs in one of your Picture files—I have one titled Blog Pics
4. Go to YOUR Pinterest ‘pin’ page and copy the url address from your browser
5. Sign into your Blogger blog and open your Dashboard
6. Open ‘DESIGN’
7. Click ‘Add a Gadget’
8. Scroll down to find and select ‘Picture’
9. Paste the url to your Pinterest ’pins’ page in the link space
10. Open the jpg file with the Pinterest logo and select it and click ‘Open’–you will be able to see the picture right away if you have done this step correctly
11. Save and then go look at your blog to see how it looks

Now go ahead and click the new Pinterest button to see if it takes you to your Pinterest page. If I’ve explained things well, you should be as successful as I was today! Crow! Crow! Crow!
