How To Link Your Blog To Your Pinterest Page!

Hi everyone! 

Well I'm back from a VERY long break! (Sorry about that!) life has been SO busy lately, and finding time to write on here didn't make the cut for a few months! ;) 

~~~~~~~~~~

Well, on my long break, just about the only thing I did for the blog was keep up with Pinterest (And even that I didn't do all that well! ;P 

I found something I hadn't before!

Did you know that you can directly link your blog/site and your Pinterest so that you get stats about what people are pinning of yours and what is the most popular? 

I didn't! 

So when I found it I decided to do a tutorial on "How To Link Your Blog To Your Pinterest Page" 

So....Here goes!

The first thing you need to do is go to your Pinterest account page/profile.

In the left hand corner next to the Pinterest icon it says Analytics.

Click on that.

You will see a page (like the one pictured above).

You will see three links, Your Pinterest Profile, Your Audience,

 and one that says "Want to see more?"

Click on that.

It will bring up what is pictured above.

There are two ways to Confirm your website.

1. The copy and paste (first circle in the picture)

2. Download (I used the other one so I don't know how well this works)

So, copy and paste the html code.

Now go to your blog.

(I don't know how this will work on other sites like Wordpress).

click on Template.

Click on Edit HTML (Its under the blog picture on the Template page).

Search the HTML code for <head> and </head> 

(As seen above)

Paste the code you copied in between <head> and </head> 

And click "Save Template"

Like above.

Refresh your Pinterest Analytics and....... 

Your done!

It will say "Check Back Soon!"

A couple of days later you should see stats appearing (they will be small at first)

And there you have it!

I hope this Tutorial helped you and I would LOVE to hear your questions and comments!

P.S. If you liked it, please share! 

Thank You!

The Gift of Giving.

 Last week my Grandma was in the hospital in our town for some tests. She was in the hospital for five days so we were up there a lot! 

 One of the days that we were there I saw an elderly man and woman going out the doors of the hospital. They were moving very slowly. The man's feet were turned in and crippled so it looked like walking would be hard and the woman was in a wheelchair and had an oxygen mask on....He was pushing her chair.

 He could barely walk and yet he was still taking care of his wife. He was doing something for her that she couldn't do for herself.

  It was a really sweet thing to see them and also a good picture of what God did/does for us.....He did what we couldn't do for ourselves, He died on they cross and paid for our sins when we couldn't. He gave of Himself for us.

   It's not really caring if your not giving of yourself.....your time, energy, giving always costs something....But it's worth it!

              For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
                              through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
                                                 Romans 6:23
