Why is there no “Pin it” button on here? I’d like to save it to my Pinterest, but it’s not as easy as it should be.
Hi @Bridget – note about pintrest – I used to feel the same way until I found you can install a “pintrest save button” right in your google chrome browser and just click on the little red circle with a “p” each time you want to save anything at all and it converts it to a pin and saves it for you.
Under the title at the top are small social media icons, which includes one for saving/sharing to Pinterest.
