Pinterest / thenest.com pinning question

First off, I don't blog so I really don't fully understand everything.  But I love lurking on this board - - i have gotten so many great recipes from you guys!

So needless to say, I am sad that many of you may be leaving. 

So, my question is - (and please excuse any naivete on my part) but even if thnest pimped out your recipes and pinned them themselves, wouldnt somebody ultimately still have to go to your blog to get the actual recipe?

Please make a blogroll before everyone leaves so I can bookmark everyone.  Thanks!

Re: Pinterest / thenest.com pinning question

  • Yeah they'd still have to go to the blog to get the recipe but thats not what so many people are upset about. It's that they put usernames on the pins/links to this board and once you have someones username its incredibly easy to find all of their posts and some people post personal stuff on the boards.
  • The nest was pinning from the "BU" posts. So if someone clicked on an image pinned by the nest, it would take them to the URL with that thread, not the actual blogs. Maybe they would understand they were on a message board and scroll down to find the image they were interested in and visit that blog, but probably not.
  • Oh, ok.  That's lame. 

    Thanks for explaining it.  As you may have guessed, I don't blog or pinterest!

    Anyway, I hope the nest gets their act together and doesnt drive anyone away.  I get great tips/recipes from this board!
