How to create a "Pin It" button on your iPhone

April 18, 2013

I know I'm not the only one who is addicted to Pinterest. As much as I don't want to admit it, I am. When I sit nursing my baby, I tend to find myself browsing Pinterest and pinning every fun idea I can find. But what do I do when I'm surfing the Internet on my phone and come across something I want to remember, whether it be inspiration for a new project or advice for getting my baby to sleep?  I'm going to want to remember it, but there is no "pin it" button on the images on my phone, so I started a search. And look no further because I found this beautiful tutorial from "Simply The Nest" on the Internet and it fixed my problem up quick!  She discovered some code that you put into the URL section of a bookmark on your phone and it turns that bookmark into a "Pin It" button.  I will walk you through the steps on my phone.

1. When you are on your phone, create a bookmark of a page (any random page will do, it's not going to remain a bookmark of that page).
2. Title that bookmark "Pin It", "Pinterest", or whatever else you may want it to say and save it.
3. Click on the little book icon at the bottom of the page to take you back to your bookmarks, and click "Edit" in the bottom left corner. Click on your "Pin It" bookmark.
4. Delete what is in the URL section and enter this code into that section:

javascript:void((function(){var%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src','http://passets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());

And save it.
Now whenever you are on a page and you want to pin something, just go to your bookmarks and find your "Pin It" bookmark. Click on it and it will redirect you to where you can choose the image you want to pin, and then let you write in your description and pin it just like you would as if you were online! Pretty remarkable I know.

Are you addicted to Pinterest too? If so, what are some of your favorite things to pin on Pinterest?
