I mean the title of our article and an image from the article. I just joined, and don't have a clear understanding of the process. How does this work?
What exactly is the question?
Yes, you can pin hubs. Yes, the title should auto generate. No, random images should not be pinned as this breeches copyright. Yes, you can edit a "changes allowed" image with your title to maximize traffic.
What is the easiest way to learn the procedure?. I read your article about making an image. The instructions on Pinterest are difficult to follow. I will look for some hubs, and I think there may be a blog about it. Any other help would be appreciated. I have a board on there. Are you able to look at it for me? Thanks WryLilt.
I have a picture on my computer that I want to be on my board with a HP article. How do I get the picture uploaded and the hub url on there?
On pinterest, click on add a pin. It will give you the option of uploading a picture. After you have pinned the picture, go into the pin and edit it. You can then input a URL.
Or the simple way - upload the image to a photo capsule on the hub, then use the "pin" button on the hub. It will automatically link to the hub AND anyone else who visits the hub can also pin it.
I just use the pin button myself either on the page or on my browser. Either will post the photo as well as a link that rides behind the photo should anyone click on it. If that "pin" is shared, the link will follow and spread far and wide the more it is shared on Pinterest.
@all Success at my first Pinterest task. Yayyy. I had trouble getting my photos to take, but I changed to Firefox, and it worked. Thanks so much for all your help. What would we do without the help of others on the site.?
If someone clicks on a pin they will expect to see that picture on the website. So I would suggest putting the picture on the hub.

I get this error when I pin from an image. I tried pinning images from other sites and it works ok. The workaround is just to pin the article which selects the topmost image.There also seems to be an unrelated problem on the new layout Pinterest site (nothing to do with HubPages). When a pin is...

Thanks Tess. I am also at a loss to understand it even though I've tried to follow the instructions. I've posted a few things that I think are links on Pinterest but I'm not sue anybody sees them. I shall await with eager anticipation the input of social media gurus.

We added the Pinterest "Pin It" button to the small collection of popular social-sharing buttons at the top of Hubs on Thursday. Pinterest has rapidly become one of the largest social media traffic drivers to HubPages, already substantially larger than Twitter and Reddit. Maddie wrote a...

What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of allowing people to pin your hubs at Pinterest? When a person does pin a hub, does it show the entire hub or just a link to the hub here at HP?
