Step 3: copy the URL of your presentation page on Bedandbreakfast.eu.

Your B&B is now on Pinterest
The picture has now been added to your mood board, including a link to your presentation page on Bedandbreakfast.eu. This way you can easily ‘pin’ pictures on Bedandbreakfast.eu or to your own website. You can also place pictures straight from your computer to Pinterest. If you want to do this choose ‘Upload pin’ at step 2.

Tip: download the pinner
When you add pictures as described above, Pinterest will notify you of the option to download the ‘Pinner’. It is definitely worthwhile to install this Pinner because you can use it to quickly place many pictures on Pinterest.
