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!

My Vintage Easter Outfit (Part 2)

You can read part 1 here in My Beautiful Vintage Easter Outfit (Part 1)

I LOVE THIS HAT!!! I'm a big fan of Vintage clothing 

(Let me rephrase that, Certain kinds of Vintage clothing! :)

And while I've had several winter vintage hats this is the first on I've had the would

 work for spring and summer! 

I found it a a church sale last year for a great deal (Along with a few winter hats) 

and just couldn't pass it up! :D

It's kind of looks like a sailor hat from some angles...... 

I did my hair in a low side bun  because of the netting on the side.......

I really enjoyed REALLY dressing up for once! :)

I LOVE the 40s - 50s look of the hat! 

I used a large Bobby Pin to hold the hat in the middle of the top and a couple of 

small ones on the sides.

Did you dress up for Easter?

My Beautiful Vintage Easter Outfit (Part 1)

Here is my Easter Sunday Outfit! :D I don't mind telling you that Easter Sunday is one

 of my FAVORITE Sundays of the year (I think Christmas is the only one that ranks

 higher :) But Valentines day is a close second!) 

First thing I want to say is Thanks! to my Mom for taking most of these pictures! Easter Sunday is very busy and it felt like too much work to get the tripod out and set everything up :P 

Thanks Mom! 

As you've probable figured out I LOVE to dress up! :) I guess I'm still a little girl in that way ;)

Okay, on to the outfit! :) 

The Dress!

A couple of weeks ago one of my good friends said she had cleaned out her closet

 and had some things she thought I might be interested in (They were dresses she made herself!) I (of course!) said yes! (you know how much I LOVE clothes :) 

This dress was one of them! Yay! Instant Easter dress with a few added accessories! 

The Jacket!

My Mom picked this jacket up at one of our thrift stores last week and it went just perfectly with the dress! (It added to the 40's 50's feel of it)

The Shoes

I found these shoes at a church garage sale a couple of years ago

 (I have no idea how much they were :P) and again they have the vintage look!

I LOVe the back of the dress! :)

I added a pair of vintage looking pink rose earrings too. 

And last of all here is THE HAT! I LOVE this hat! :D This was the one thing about my outfit that was truly VINTAGE! And..........You can read about that in Part 2!

Blogging Series Part 2 (Embedding Your Comment Box.)

One thing that I think is VERY important to a blog is a easy to use comment box!

I know many times I go to comment on a blog and you have to click to another page or something and it just feels like to much work. :)

  

1. Go to your blog settings, click on Posts & Comments.

Go to where it says Comments, beside comment location is a drop box. Click on it and select Embedded.

Your comment box should look like the above picture....It's SO much 

easier for your viewers to use! 

I hope you found this tutorial helpful!
