Pinterest is fast becoming one of the world's largest social networks and most popular websites. For this reason having a presence on Pinterest is an important part of your marketing efforts. Adding a Pinterest widget to your website is a great way to build your Pinterest audience. That audience in turn is likely to share your pins with their network of friends, ultimately raising awareness and driving traffic to your website. Here's how you can add a Pinterest board widget to your website.

Step 1. Go to business.pinterest.com  and click on Tools> Widget Builder.

Step 2. Select the type of widget you'd like to add to your website. For this example we're using the board widget. This will display thumbnail images for each post on a specific Pinterest board.

Step 3. Get the URL for the board you'd like to create a widget for and then click build widget. You can find the URL to a specific board in your Pinterest account by navigating to it and then copying the URL to your clipboard. To copy to your clipboard click on the URL in the address bar than right click and choose copy. When you're ready don't forget to click "Build It".

Step 4. Once you've clicked "Built It" you'll see some HTML code appear. Select all the code and copy it to your clipboard.

Step 5. Login to your WebStarts account and choose to edit the page where you'd like the Pinterest board widget to appear. Click Insert> HTML and then paste the code in the area provided and click "Ok". The widget text will be displayed on your page. You can then drag and drop the widget where you'd like it to appear. Be sure to click save to publish your widget to your live website.
