I’m in the U.S. When I try to pin from your board, Pinterest shows me a log-in screen, even though I’m already logged in to Pinterest. Maybe it’s just a Pinterest glitch? Or do they want me to sign up for a separate New Zealand Pinterest account?
Thanks for adding the pinnable image! It just went on my Social Media Tools board: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/52776626872523202
Ah, I just figured it out. When I try to pin from https://www.pinterest.nz/pin/95349717100669970/ it doesn’t work. But if I change it to https://www.pinterest.com/pin/95349717100669970/ it allows me to pin.
Thanks Christina.. I spoke with Pinterest and they assured me that the country code was no issue for re pinning or Pinning from my blog… strange it makes you change .. but glad you’ve figured out a way to Pin xxx
I really want to pin this helpful article to share it, but there is no pinnable image with a title available here. I even clicked through to your Pinterest, and found your pin for this post, but because it’s New Zealand Pinterest, I’m not able to repin it.
Please let me know if you add a pinnable image! Thanks!
Ahhhh sorry Christina! Sorry! Added one now… I wasn’t going to add pinnable images to my quick tips section… but maybe just one! And, weird you can’t Pin from Pinterest? It should make no difference what country you’re in? Have not had any other pinners have any issues from any other countries? hmmmm might bring up with Pinterest… interesting… what country are you in?
Thanks for sharing! Some great useful tips!
I like it! Going to try it!
I had no idea that you can create folders in Canva! Thanks for the tip. 🙂
IKR!!! I’m prettttty sure you can only create a limited number on the free plan… but multiple on the Pro version… but one’s enough for me!
