Wordpress users have had a widget like this one in my sidebar for a while now. So you can imagine that I was quite happy to find that Marie at Code it Pretty had written a widget for Blogger blogs to display your latest pins, right in your sidebar.
I required a little bit of editing, to add in your pinterest url and the logo at the top. If I can manage to do it I’m sure most people can. I did have a bit of fun customising the pinterest logo to match my blog, and shrinking it to fit (150px).
You can even customise the widget even further if you wish. Instead of showing the latest pins, you can set it up to show the pins from a specific board. I’ve added row and column padding, set the pin side to 110px and increased the number of pins.
The feature I like most though is the “hover” effect, try it out, hover your mouse over anyone of the pins and it pops up to show the full image. Neat huh! Most of the common problems you might experience Marie resolves in the comments section of the post.
Go on over the Code it Pretty and download the widget, you won’t regret it!
