Ugh. This doesn't work either. Something to do with the "new" pinterest layout? I am clueless.
ReplyDeleteI have been to my account and everything is exactly the same for me, not sure what you mean, any ways even if the Pinterest were to update they should leave this feature in place and it would be a simple matter of filling out your profile info and verifying your website which should take a similar path as above.
