Go into twitter's settings and there will be a setting to post the tweets you post on twitter on Facebook. Then when you pin a pin on Pinterest, there should be a box that says "post to twitter" if not go into your Pinterest settings. That way you post everywhere (except Google, Conda Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972790965426924941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078064962090919088.post-27600564514806707952014-11-20T13:28:13.445-05:002014-11-20T13:28:13.445-05:00Hey, JQ and Conda.
