Today is an awesome post.  I like it anyway.  For those of you addicted to Pinterest, then you'll love this new trick if you don't already know about it.  

I LOVE how easy Pinterest is to use, so who knew they'd come up with ways to make it even easier?  

You know the drill:
1.  Visit a website
2.  Click your "Pin It" button on your toolbar
3.  Scroll down and hunt for that mini picture
4.  Click Pin
5.  Choose the board & edit the description
6.  ... and Pin

Pin Me
Today, my goal is to help you eliminate steps 2 and 3... if you still do it the way I described.  A lot of sites are now installing little Pinterest hover buttons  OR the little "Pin It" buttons next to photos, which is awesome.  (I've got it on my 'to do' list and that's how I came across this little gem during my search.)  However, until all of your favorites do that, then you might want to try this trick, called a QuickPin extension.  

Basically, it allows you to right click a picture and select "Pin" from the menu versus the old way.  It's awesome and has made it so much easier for me to pin.

For Chrome: 

1.  Visit this extension link (called QuickPin)
2.  Click "Add to Chrome"
3.  Done.  You're ready to start right-clicking and pinning!  

For Firefox:

1.  Visit this extension link
2.  Click "Download Now"
3.  Done. 

For Int. Exlporer:

Boo.  :(  I spent about 20 minutes trying to find a way to do it on Internet Explorer, but no luck.  If you know how, then please let me know in the comment section.  I'd LOVE to add it!  
I hope that helps to make your pinning a lot easier in the future!  Have a great week.  

***While finishing this post and doing more research, I came across Kevin and Amanda's post.  Dang it!  If you want to know hot to do the hover button thing (or the same thing I just explained), then their post is fabulous! ***

Seriously, that is so cool! I have the hover pin on my pics and the pin button in my toolbar, but I like this too!
Thanks!

You are the best!
now if you could just tell me a way to reorganise my boards without clicking on every single picture, you would be my hero!
