Pin It! Button in iPad

Mrs. At Home has been playing with Pinterest lately. I haven’t bought in, haven’t joined or anything. It seems like a less functional version of Springpad, but it seems to be popular with the fairer gender.

But she couldn’t pin things from her iPad. There’s a link on their site for a “Pin It!” button, but those don’t drag on the iPad’s browser. So a little reverse-engineering and email go a long way.

If you’re on your iPad, click on the send icon, then Add Bookmark. Call the bookmark Pin It! Then copy the text below:

javascript:void((function(){var%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src','http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());

And then tap the bookmarks icon again, then tap Edit. Tap the arrow next to your Pin It! link, and paste in the code from above.

How’s that for driving up traffic here from the female demographic?
