Hi Heidi & Maddi, OMG this podcast was so valuable. So much content! I’ve spent a day working my way through a number of your tips. I have one quick question. It was when you were talking about the size of images and the Alt text on wordpress. When posting images to Pinterest, do you mean using the wordpress url to post to pinterst?
Thanks again and I am looking forward to your masterclass.
Michelle 🙂

I’m not 100% sure what you mean when you say using the WordPress URL to post to Pinterest. You do want your Pinterest images to link back to the relevant page or blog post.
