Here’s a Pinterest tip for power users (or maybe just obsessive-compulsive ones who are driven batty by pages that are unPinnable because they have no pictures).

You can edit a Pin.  

Now, some of you already knew that, but hadn’t made the connection to this application.  You can Pin a picture and a different page, with a little bit of finagling. Now, you have to be extra-careful for copyright here.  Use your own picture (preferably), or a royalty-free, no-attribution-necessary image that you have the right to use.  But here’s how you do it:

1. Go to the page where the picture is that you want to use.  Pin the picture.  When the box pops up showing that it’s finished, click on “see your Pin” (or “see it now”).

2. Click on “edit.”

3. Copy the URL from the page you want Pinned.  Delete the existing URL from the “Link” field, and paste this into its place.

4. Click on “save pin.”

There you go!

(Last I checked, you couldn’t put a URL into a Pin that was uploaded directly to Pinterest, so you can’t just upload the picture from your computer.  You have to upload it to a page someplace first, and Pin it from the page.)   Ooh; ooh!  You can now add a link when go in to edit an uploaded-by-user Pin, so that might be the easier way to do it.
