Step 3 - Embedding Pins into Your Blog Post
Now we're onto the final step.
You want to go to a pin that you've saved to one of your boards. Pick a pin that you want to go into your blog post.
Hit the three dots above the pin and then click "Embed".
Choose the size you want the pin and then choose whether or not to hide the description. (I choose to hide it because it can be really long.)
Scroll to the bottom of the page
Copy and paste the code that you're given. There's also a reminder about the code that you need to add before the </body> tag. That's the one we added in step 1, so you can ignore that here.
Now go back to your blog post.
Select where you want to add your pin and then hit "Text" to get the text editor instead of the visual editor.
Paste the code in.
Add a - before the </a> tag as a placeholder.
Click back to the visual editor, and here's what you see:
When you preview, or publish your post, your newly embedded pin will be there.
Here's an example of where I used these embedded pins in a blog post so you can get a visual of how it looks when done.

And that's it!
