Some Pinterest etiquette: Always share the permalink. Make sure you are on the individual post NOT the main URL or scrolled page number when you pin. Otherwise, by the time the pin propagates, the post is no longer at the top, and the content cannot be found. Share only the post title or a summary statement about the post. Pinterest is only a visual inspiration board. It is NOT a re-blogging machine. Don’t pin from Google images. Google doesn’t own those, click back to content owner. Credit the original content creator whenever possible. Name the blogger, the photographer, or rightful owner.
