I've seen a few members add links to their messages and it looks so neat and tidy with the title showing instead of the URL.


The first one was the link to overall WA blog post but the second one from I can see is the link to someone's comment (bypassing the actual WA post straight to your comment).

I guess it's just part of WA's algorithm - WA posts are neat, any other links show as they are. I'm pretty sure there's no settings to change that.

Thank you so much!!!
I think you nailed it, I need to use the actual blog URL.

This link sends to your page with multiple blog posts, so it'll be seen as a normal url text.

But if you were to select one of your posts and share it -- Then it's a nice title.

By the way!

If you were to include your links in your WA posts, then you just right-click and you enter title yourself (there will be one bar for title and one for the url that you used).

The nice title looking url appears only in the comments and in private messages.

Ah, my comment was to the one before your edit haha. Anyway, glad I could help!

Zarina,
Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me AND for giving me a little extra info. I'll put the WA post link tip in my briefcase for future use.

They don't call you an Ambassador for nothing!!!
I'd give you ten thumbs up if I could.

Sorry about that, I was trying to test out what you had suggested.
:)

Haha thanks Mitch! Glad I could help :)

I do not believe WA is a scam.

Read the post, not just a title :)

Thanks for having my back Zarina... :)

I encourage you to read the blog post in it's entirety. You might be pleasantly amused. :)

I'm just starting out with Pinterest and things are set up a little different than the tutorial.
I managed to Pin a blog post, but somehow I had managed to Pin it twice (exa

I am still trying to comprehend the workings of Pinterest have managed to pin one of my website posts here, but still unclear as you say it is set out different to what is shown in tutorial videos. Would any one be willing to follow me on Pinterest. Thanks.

Looks like you received the answer already :)

Thanks for stopping by and trying to help. :)

You are welcome anytime :)

Of course!

Go to the duplicate pin and click on it
In the upper left hand corner there is a pencil (that's the edit button). Click on pencil and it will allow you to edit the pin, lower left hand corner is the delete button! Voila!

Hope this helps!

Thank you.
Such a simple solution.

You're welcome!

Oops... changed it to https://www.pinterest.com/creatorclues/

Thanks,

Yes you can.

Any tips on how to do it?

I'm following some instructions I found on Pinterest but their site seems to be having some issues (or maybe my computer). I'll have to try later.

Finally got it.
I'm not sure why but after a every few clicks, a pop-up on Pinterest appears saying: "Something went wrong." This has happened since I signed up yesterday.

Solution for deleting a pin:
-click on pins tab
-click on pencil icon of pin you want to delete
-click delete button on the bottom left
-click confirm to delete

I'm definitely a social network rookie.
