 * I have a problem with the “Pin it” button. When I click on it, it does show me
   images from my blog: [http://lucypick.com](http://lucypick.com) . But when I 
   select the one I want and try to pin it, I get a message, “Whoops, cannot fetch
   image.” I did check out your FAQ but nothing seemed to help. I am using twenty-
   twelve as my theme. None of my plugins is esoteric. Is it a problem with pinterest?
   My images? Most of them are jpegs. Thanks.

 * It’s hard to say for sure, but in the past this has been related to a file-security
   setting on the host. Are the images publicly viewable and not marked read-only?
   Google the issue and you may find some things to try.
 * You can also check pinning without the plugin using a bookmarklet or browser 
   extension to see if it’s related to the plugin or not.
 * Hope that helps!
