Tweet Import lets you choose what you want to import into your site. It creates regular posts from the content of your tweets. Feeds can be imported into different categories. If you have multiple authors on your website, you can add their accounts and file their tweets under their user account. Hashtags are supported too (local and Twitter). Don’t want to show @username on your site? Just turn that option off on the setting page.

Tweet Import has the potential to be abused by spammers and content thieves. Please do not use it to add other people’s Twitter posts to your website. That’s not only unethical, it could get you in trouble. For importing your own tweets, this plugin works like a charm.

In the past few weeks, I have been searching for plugins and scripts WordPress webmasters can use to integrate Pinterest in their website. There are not too many sophisticated ones around. But you can use these tools and scripts to make your site more Pinterest friendly:

Pinterest RSS Widget: this plugin displays your pins in your sidebar. Uses your Pinterest’s RSS feed to do that. Pretty Pinterest Pins is another plugin that offers almost the same functionality.

Pinterest Profile Button: you can download the code for this button right from Pinterest and drop it to your sidebar.

Pin It Button: Pinterest does have a “Pin It” button that works quite well on WordPress sites. You just have to make some modifications to it (link, image, …). Works in a similar way to Facebook’s Like button.

Subscribe / Connect / Follow: a simple plugin that adds links to your social profiles to your sidebar. It provides support for Pinterest and many other social networks.

Sharebar: Sharebar is one of the most versatile social bookmarking plugins for WordPress. You can add any button to this plugin including the Pin It button mentioned above.

Social Discussions: it adds social bookmarking buttons to your website (supports Pinterest). Automatic sharing for Pinterest is not supported at this point though.

Pinterest does not have as many users as Twitter or Facebook. But it does have a lot of potential. It is well worth being a part of. Thanks to the above tools and plugins, you can make your website more Pinterest friendly.

Thankfully, Pinterest does have a “Pin It” button for you available to add to your website. You will have to make some changes to make it work though. Both horizontal and vertical buttons are available. You should define the site URL and picture for each pinned URL. The basic button is easy to install and works fine for those of you who want to add “Pin It” buttons to your website quickly. The advanced version is the better option to go with.

Don’t forget to change image.jpg to the image that you want shown for your pinned posts. Of course, the better way to approach this is by letting your visitors choose one of the images included in your post. I personally use this function by wprecipes.com to feed the first image in my posts to this script (and set a default image just in case there are no images in my posts). If you choose to use this function, your code remains the same but you have to change yoursite.com/image.jpg with:

Keep in mind that Pinterest is a visual social network. Having more images in your posts increases their chances of getting pinned. Pinterest may not have as many members as Twitter and Facebook but it has potential. With the above codes, you can add its “Pin It” button to your website and start getting your stories pinned by your visitors.
