Yes, make your own “Pin it” button.  Another way to add a personal touch to your Website. When a viewer hovers over an image, it will change slightly and a “Pin It” button appears {i.e. near the top right corner}.  I have tried a few other Plugins and attempted to change the codes on the others before I discovered this plugin by Marcin Skrzpiez for WordPress.   It was surprisingly easy to install and customize.  Follow the next few steps and a new custom “Pin it” button will be up and running.
