Optimizing your photo gallery for Pinterest

[Touchmark]

We are in the middle of a redesign and the VP wants to get more aggressive with Pinterest. We currently use Slideshow Pro for our photo albums. I have a feeling that we are going to have trouble pulling the images from this self-hosted script.

Before we get further in our design process, I was wondering what photo services/scripts others use that seem to pull into Pinterest without problems or are you doing a custom album generator?

Thanks!

Are you trying to use automation to put your images into pinterest or grab images from pinterest?

I don't think that automation will be effective at generating the buzz needed to drive pinterest traffic to your site.  For that you need enthusiastic humans.

I get some nice traffic from pinterest but that is entirely a result of people who I don't know or have any relationship with pinning and liking our graphics and photos.

To facilitate sharing of your images you can use the addthis.com social share buttons next to them.

Oh no, I'm not trying to automate it. I just want to be sure when users click that 'Pin It' button that Pinterest is able to pull all the images from my gallery properly.

Did you ever get additional clarity on this?  I'm trying to do the same for a joomla website and want to make the image gallery as easy as possible to grab images from.  We have lots of food images and so looking for best practices, as I don't want to do this multiple times.

Trying to figure out for joomla, and struggling with embedded content.
