How to add pInterest button to Blogger posts

By Dora -
I got this easily done by referring to Bloggers Sentral's tutorial . Only two simple steps: Step 1 Locate the <data:post.body/> code in the HTML template. Step 2 Copy and paste the code below just after the  <data:post.body/> tag. You can change the "count-layout" attribute to either horizontal, vertical or none (no count) <!-- Pinterest Start --> <div id='pin-wrapper' style='margin:5px 10px 5px 0; text-align: left;'> <a class='pin-it-button' count-layout='horizontal' expr:href='&quot;http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=&quot; + data:post.url'>Pin It</a> <a href='javascript:void(run_pinmarklet())' style='margin-left:-93px; width:43px; height:20px; display:inline-block;'/> </div> <script src='http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js' type='text/javascript'/> <script type='text/javascript'> function run_pin...

This week, I spent a few days trying to write a program that can receive and send SMS using the D-LINK DWM-156  3.75G HSUPA USB Modem I bought from Challenger at $79.00. Tried out GSMComm and it is a great library, but sadly, the library is not compatible with my lousy D-LINK modem.  Yeah, quite unhappy with this modem.  Since I bought it a few days ago, its performance has been quite below on par; I often got a 'NO SIM CARD' message when my SIM card was evidently never removed from the adapter all along.  Also, when I tried to flash my firmware, the installation tool adamantly REFUSED to recognise my device. In desperation, I called the D-LINK technical support.  After spending nearly an hour with 4 different support staff, my conclusion is that the D-LINK hotline was just manned by some staff who would ask you for a few keywords that they would key in their knowledge base, and if those keywords were found in their search, they just repeat the instructions...
