Lots of us go to Pinterest for Inspiration.  If you are like me, you live on Pinterest.

NOPE

Lemon Links
You get there and find this AWESOME photo.  Lights go off and you are picturing this in your classroom and all the accolades coming from your admin when you implement it.  You click the link.  And then you see it.  The s-media-cache link.  The small grainy image that looks nothing like the Pin you just saw.  UGH!  If it was a car, it would be a lemon

But wait.  Copy that media link.

Drop it in your BFF – GOOGLE.  Search by image.

Find the link that has the photo but doesn’t re-direct back to Pinterest. Click that link and find the image on the page.

It's a LEMON

Go back to Pinterest and pin that dead image.  Then edit your Pin and paste the URL address into the ‘website’ link.  Save and voila! You have a live Pin with the correct link!

Copy the Image Address
