In your theme's JS folder, create a file called jquery.pinit.js and add the following:
/*
* jQuery Pinit for Pinterest
* Author: Kevin Liew
* Website: queness.com
* License: http://redactorjs.com/license/
* Usage: $('img').pinit();
*/
(function($){
//Attach this new method to jQuery
$.fn.extend({
pinit: function(options) {
var defaults = {
wrap: '<span class="pinit"/>',
pageURL: document.URL
}
var options = $.extend(defaults, options);
var o = options;
//Iterate over the current set of matched elements
return this.each(function() {
var e = $(this),
pi_media = e.data('media') ? e.data('media') : e[0].src,
pi_url = o.pageURL,
pi_desc = e.attr('title') ? e.attr('title') : e.attr('alt'),
pi_isvideo = 'false';
bookmark = 'http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?media=' + encodeURI(pi_media) + '&url=' + encodeURI(pi_url) + '&is_video=' + encodeURI(pi_isvideo) + '&description=' + encodeURI(pi_desc);
var eHeight = e.outerHeight();
e.wrap(o.wrap);
e.after('<span class="pinit-overlay" style="height: ' + eHeight + 'px"><a href="' + bookmark + '" class="pinit-button">Pin It</a></span>');
$('.pinit .pinit-button').on('click', function () {
window.open($(this).attr('href'), 'Pinterest', 'width=632,height=253,status=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,location=1,scrollbars=1');
return false;
});
$('.pinit').mouseenter(function () {
$(this).children('.pinit-overlay').fadeIn(200);
}).mouseleave(function () {
$(this).children('.pinit-overlay').fadeOut(200);
});
});
}
});
})(jQuery);
Open your /index.template.php and find:
// The ?fin20 part of this link is just here to make sure browsers don't cache it wrongly.
echo '
Add after:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['theme_url'], '/css/jquery.pinit.css" />
Find:
</body></html>';
}

<script type="text/javascript" src="', $settings['theme_url'], '/js/jquery.pinit.js">
