Oh, Pinterest. How you vex me.

So I make no bones about the fact that I hate social media. I know, I know, It's a necessary evil and I have reconciled myself to the fact that I need to leverage it in order to make my website profitable. Don't lecture me!

But can somebody please explain to me what the heck is up with Pinterest? I have the hardest time getting my pins to post there without getting an error. Everything from, "Sorry, something went wrong on our end" to "Sorry, we can't find any pictures to post". Stop feeding me your empty apologies, Pinterest. They're really disingenuous.

What the heck, Pinterest? I followed this article to set up rich pins and it worked for all of about 2 pins...

Given my niche, it's pretty much a given that I need to leverage Pinterest. And I'm getting to the point where I'd really like to start being active in communities relevant to my niche. But if I can't figure out how to fix this rich pin posting nightmare on Pinterest, I may just have to throw my laptop across the room. Pinterest, schmiterest.

In order to preserve my sanity, and the health and safety of my laptop, I'm signing off for the night and probably won't be on tomorrow as I expect to be in a turkey-induced coma for much of the day.

All advice and Pinterest-bashing comments are welcome!
