After emptying your cache and restarting your browser you'll find the new option "Allow Pinterest for this page" in the right sidebar of the page editor.
Now everyone who doesn't want their images distributed on Pinterest can simply opt out of the Pinterest button for that particular article.
Thanks, Simon. You're wiser'n Solomon.

It's brilliant that it is being made optional :) Another great new Wizzley feature.
Perhaps if Squidoo had made it optional, then members wouldn't have been up in arms about it.
I like my images being put on pinterest - but that's because I've watermarked most of my own personal pics. I can understand why some people are not happy about it as well.

I would also like to add that we went a step beyond simply removing the Pinterest button:
If you choose to opt out, Wizzley will actually block any attempt to "pin" your article by means of the Pinterest bookmarklet. Avid fans of Pinterest will probably use their own browser button to pin stuff, but if they try they will receive the following message:
“This site doesn’t allow pinning to Pinterest. Please contact the owner with any questions. Thanks for visiting!”

Ann & Achim, I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you have done this. As you know I have serious reservations about Pinterest and want to say how much I appreciate that you have listened to those of us who do have concerns and made this an optional feature on Wizzley.
I do wish other sites would do the same

An impressive innovation, Team Wizzley! While I am on the fence myself about the issue of sharing images from my pages (trying it out, though), I think it's an elegant way to deal with the issue that has many other sites befuddled.

I don't understand. What is the default setting -- to allow or not allow Pinterest?
I want Pinterest pinning allowed. Do I need to change each article?

By default, Pinterest is allowed. You may opt out on an individual page basis.
