It only works if your blog is visible to everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613614 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:40:20 +0000 Kari 613614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, keep in mind that even if you don't have the "pin it" button, people can still pin your photos easily just by capturing the URL of your blog or forum post. Just some food for thought. The pin just makes it a little more convenient to do so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613613 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:40:12 +0000 Greg 613613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, it is an option under "blog settings". If you don't want the pin button then you can just leave it at the default setting, which is "off".</p> <p>You can't switch the button on and off for individual photos. It is all of your photos or none of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613606 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:33:11 +0000 rae 613606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would the pin option be applied to photos indiscriminately? I am not 100% sure I'd be okay with people pinning my outfit photos, since I show my face in all of them. Pinterest is closely linked with Facebook, and I don't like having my photos on Facebook. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613587 Sun, 06 May 2012 19:43:19 +0000 Kari 613587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool! I just implemented it to try it out. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613584 Sun, 06 May 2012 19:38:11 +0000 Greg 613584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input!</p> <p>ManidipaM, do you mean when someone is browsing on the iPad, for example? That's a great point because it is notoriously hard to install the bookmarklet on the iPad or iPhone, and in that case the buttons would be super useful.</p> <p>I have now implemented this option. Lookfab bloggers can now go to the "Social Media" section of the blog settings and check the box to enable the "Pin It" buttons below their photos.</p> <p>I have enabled them for <a href="http://ylfoto.lookfab.com/">my blog</a> for the moment, but I'm not sure whether I will keep them in the long term. They definitely add a little clutter. But if the people who read your blog are into Pinterest, it may be worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613349 Sun, 06 May 2012 13:26:34 +0000 Janet 613349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't yet maximized my use of Pinterest, but when I do, I usually use the Pin It bookmark. However, I could see this being useful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613345 Sun, 06 May 2012 13:17:37 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 613345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been using pinterest to pin outfits I am drawn to as well and would find it useful since many of my best inspirations outfits come from YLF.</p> <p>Greg, thanks for putting so much thought and effort into continuously making this site even better and more user friendly than it already is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613277 Sun, 06 May 2012 04:37:27 +0000 ManidipaM 613277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Inge, I go with the Pin It toolbar button; but I wonder if it would be more helpful to have an in-blog feature for other platforms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613086 Sat, 05 May 2012 21:57:34 +0000 Kari 613086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use Pinterest quite a lot, and find myself occasionally pinning from the YLF forum and from YLF blogs, so I'd use it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613085 Sat, 05 May 2012 21:53:08 +0000 nicoleb 613085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've pinned some of my outfit posts in the past to generate publicity for myself so it doesn't matter to me! I don't use Pinterest anymore though...i think my friend list kind of ruined it for me and i'd rather be on Tumblr instead. &gt;.&gt;</p> <p>Unless i'm looking for a delicious snack idea. Then it's Pinterest all the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613061 Sat, 05 May 2012 21:11:03 +0000 Inge 613061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always use the "Pin It" bookmarklet (in my bookmarks bar) provided by Pinterest, I never really click on the other buttons. But I think it would be nice to have the option for those of us who do prefer them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613055 Sat, 05 May 2012 20:37:46 +0000 Meredith1953 613055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the "pin this buttons" and use them a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-pinterest-pin-this-button-for-lookfab-blogs#post-613048 Sat, 05 May 2012 20:23:24 +0000 Greg 613048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I notice that some bloggers are putting a Pinterest "pin this" button alongside their photos. So I was wondering whether I should make this an optional feature on the lookfab blogs.</p> <p>So if you enabled the feature, a "pin this" button would appear alongside your photos in your blog.</p> <p>Do people use these "pin this" buttons, or are they superfluous? Would you want them alongside your pictures if you had a lookfab blog?</p> <p>(All this assumes that you want your lookfab blog to be public, of course. This feature wouldn't apply to people that keep their LF blog members only.) </p>
