Linking your Pinterest boards to your Linksky Visual site is a great way to get traffic to your website. Not only is it fun to share your favorite products, projects and inspirations and engage with your audience, but you can also add buttons to your Online Store which may help increase your sales. If you are not using the Online Store Widget yet, check it out here: Online Store.

- When you are done, click "Save".
Here's how to add your Pinterest follow button to your site using the Text Widget:
