All my other sites, where I offer my images for sale, have this facility. Please, PLEASE, can we have it here too!!

Jan, the Pinterest sharing button on WordPress.com that everyone was asking for and which was made available is optional. You don't have to use it in your site unless you want to. Obviously, those that clamored for having the Pinterest share button are not the same people who want to have Pinterest blocked, unless they've changed their minds.

The Pinterest "Pin It" bookmarklet is, for all intents and purposes, "Press This". It was only after Pinterest became a tsunami that they released the meta tag that allows site owners to block others from using the "Pin It" bookmarklet on their site and pinning their material. I can only hope that WordPress.com will give us the option in our settings, especially since sites like flickr have already done so.

For now, like reblogging, either you learn to live with it or you go someplace where you can include the meta tag in your site's header info.

How quickly that changed, so has Pinterest's Terms of Use. Just about every social sharing site I know says they own your stuff. I'm a professional photographer who prefers to live life in a meaningful productive way than to fight what may be / usually is a lost cause. My view of Pinterest: Pinterest Drives 30% More Traffic to My Blog.

Apparently reblogging, whether on WordPress.com, Pinterest, Tumblr or elsewhere, is the new black.

Some of us users argued vehemently against reblogging when it was introduced on WordPress.com. It's still here thanks to the fact that when you signed up for the service you gave WordPress.com the right to redistribute your content, "solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your blog." Take a good look at Para 2.

Not only does Pinterest claim to own your images, but it also strips out all metadata from the images so they can claim not to be aware that an image is copyrighted.

thank you.

The code “This site doesn’t allow pinning to Pinterest. Please contact the owner with any questions. Thanks for visiting!” works much the same way robots.txt does in keeping search engine spiders from crawling your site. There are many WordPress.com bloggers primarily but not exclusively artists and photographers who want this ability.

It's not possible for us to use the required code to block Pinterest pinning on free hosted WordPress.com blogs, as we cannot access and edit our metadata and the code must be inserted into the header. I'll flag this thread so it gets moved to the Ideas Forum.
