Pinterest have quietly responded to the copyright uproar by releasing a piece of code that you can put into you header . This should issue a warning to the pinner reminding them that they do not have permission. Don’t know if it works yet.
This is the code:
<meta name=”pinterest” content=”nopin” />
BTW I nearly had my 5 minutes of fame as a producer for Channel 4 News read my blog post and asked if I’d do an interview! I think Pinterest put paid to the story by releasing the code. Oh well I can sleep well tonight!

The header as I understand it, is the banner thing at the top, but I’ve got to say that having husband with a graphic design agency pays off at time like this because he gets a ‘techy’ to do it for me! I’ll ask them and see what the say it is.

Just thought you’d like to know that WordPress is not allowing us to insert the Pinterest opt-out code to prevent our images from being pinned. If your hubby can figure out a way to do it though, I’d be very interested to know how!

Jen, the technicians at my husbands studio say that it is not possible to embed that code into a WordPress site because of the way it is built (coded) Stale mate!
