Flash and pinterest how can I pin

[henya]

Hi

I am trying to working on a kitchen remodeling site and want to build up my pinterest but most of the pictures  on the site are flash or not recognized by pinterest. Any ideas how I can pin the images short of changing the whole image system (don't know if the company still have the images used - only have access to wordpress not the ftp files)

I'm not sure how many images you are dealing with here, nor the extent of the process you want to embark on BUT there are a few things that come to mind.

Flash is not readable by Google or Apple, nor Pinterest. So right there you may want to consider making a shift over anyway. Google and Apple have dropped some serious money into development and I'm sure Adobe has too, but so far they just can't get it to work.

Anything that is in your flash viewer will not be visible on an iphone/ipad and Google will not be able to read any text that you may have in the images.

That being said, an easy fix, depending on the size of the images, and the quantity would be to just take a screenshot of the images and crop them down to the actual image size and then throw them up on Pinterest and your website.

My advice: avoid Flash. PHP/CSS/HTML5 all these wonderful languages can do everything Flash can do and play very well with Google & Apple.

Depending on how your site is designed, you could just upload images and use them for place holders with pinterest. What you would have to do is upload the images, then add open graph tags to the site. With them you can make the pages show up what ever image you want in both facebook and pinterest. Here is the spec on them, https://developers.pinterest.com/rich_pins/
