Rant #2: I've started unfollowing pinners who consistently repin without checking links - I'm tired of having to hunt and search for specific posts when people take the easy way out and just repin, instead of following the link to make sure it's a proper link instead of a keyword search on a blog, or the main page of a blog. Today I came across a pin with a yummy photo of a cake - the pin read ... "Greatest cheesecake recipe in the world!". It lead to a picture on a (weird) site, with no information or clickable link to get to the recipe. ARGHHHH!!
ETA clarification: I'm referring to blog posts where the blogger is PAID to recommend or mention products that have nothing to do with their blog - i.e. clothing shopping @ a specific store on a craft blog, car parts on a cooking blog - etc.etc. :D
LOL I have adblock - I don't even see the ads! Gotta love it! I'm guilty of not checking half my pins though, yikes...shame on me. Shawn is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you on all counts! I've been offered free items if I would write a blog post and I have declined. I realize that some people use their blog to bring in some income, but mine is just my own nonsensical ramblings and I like it that way :) Your grand nephew is a doll by the way :)
ReplyDeleteYeh I hear ya, i've been searching pinterest for certain ideas and it freaks me out when I can't find the original post. I do repin though, hoping that I can figure out for myself.
ReplyDeleteLove that hat!!! :) He looks like a cutie patootie
Hugs, Mickie
Your grand nephew looks so cute. I don't like these kind of adverts. I'm ok with things related to sewing but that's it.
ReplyDeleteyay!! go Sandra... Oh how I love a good rant. I'm totally guilty of number 2 though.
ReplyDeleteFeeling better now? Nothing like a good rant! I am just starting to use Pinterest a bit and agree with the link issue. It is frustrating when you can't find the info on what looks like a good project.
ReplyDeleteLove your rants. I too hate the pins that don't lead anywhere logical with one exception - I pin them if I love the picture or item pictured. In some cases I will just 'like' them. Very cute bucket hat and grandson too.
ReplyDeleteI just thought that I also hate those pins that have a long long lot of tutorial pictures they mess up the symmetry of the board. I only pin those if they are exactly what I want.
