    First let me say I LOVE THIS PLUGIN! Thank you. I have tried several, this is the best I have found.

    One area I am finding trouble with – customizing the text attached to an image being pinned from my site to Pinterest. Right now only the post title is showing. As you acknowledge, Pinterest is becoming the leading traffic source for blogs. For this reason, I would like to customize the text to include my site address and possibly other text for images on a post. With other plugins I have tried the Pin It button would pull from the image title, alt title. That does not seem to be the case with Shareaholic Sharing Buttons.

    I am hoping I have missed something. Otherwise, this may be the thing that sends me back to searching for another plugin. Pinterest is just that important.

    Thank you again for a great plugin!
    Ann

    HI Ann,

    Thanks for the info! We’re using the Pinterest javascript to generate the pin information you’re seeing, but from my discovery it looks like you can customize it by modifying the alt attribute in the image tag. I’ve linked a helpful screenshot for clarity: http://www.screencast.com/t/q2RZ8VpIrb

    I hope that helps! Let me know.

    Thanks,
    Mary Anne
