Pinterest is one of the newcomers in the world of Social Networking sites. Pinterest is an exciting new virtual pinboard that allows you to “Pin” your items of interest.
What is Pinterest?
Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes.
Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.
In this article I am going to outline some of the very useful Pinterest WordPress plugin that you can download and integrate into your website.

Pinterest Plugin
Show the Pinterest “Pin It” button on top of your images, only when people move their mouse over the image.
This plugin doesn’t display the Pinterest “Pin It” button underneath your blog post like a few other plugins out there. Instead it shows the “Pin It” button on top of the image itself, when your readers move their mouse over the image. This makes it easier for your readers to select exactly which image they want to pin.
The plugin also sends your image alt text to Pinterest as default ‘Description.’
