I *always* wonder if my friends have actually tried things or not (Made this tonight, OMGGG!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-540537 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:34:26 +0000 pui 540537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I change them, but not often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-540533 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:33:38 +0000 PearlBee 540533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Penny Lane: Ah! I have started to do that, too! I was getting so frustrated when people wouldn't pin things correctly, so I try to check the source when I can too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-540529 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:32:45 +0000 PearlBee 540529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost always. I'm a writer/editor by profession so I can't stand to pin anything that's really poorly written. I don't mean to be a snob, I swear! ;)</p> <p>I also delete parts of pin descriptions when they say things like "BEST THING EVERRRRRRRRR" haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-539122 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:07:37 +0000 MamaMagpie 539122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually edit them, especially if it's not something I would ever say! If it's just a description or info about the actual link, I'll keep it. I actually like it when the directions are in the caption, especially for an easy recipe, so that way I can just refer to my pin instead of clicking on the link. There have been times, though, when I've forgotten and there's something random written and I think "haha I hope my friends don't think I wrote that!". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-538584 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:10:59 +0000 Mrsbells 538584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually change if it doesnt apply to me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-538579 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:10:15 +0000 Alivoo01 538579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the description is applicable to me, I keep it.

Healthy but tastes like a donut!!!!!! YUUUUUMMMMMMYYYYY.</p> <p>I'll delete everything, but "Healthy but tastes like a donut". hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537795 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:32:05 +0000 bisous 537795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I change them when I have something specific to say, but sometimes I am just too lazy! Especially when I am pinning from my iphone app. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537782 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:25:59 +0000 pl0508 537782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never change them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537693 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:36:03 +0000 Penny Lane 537693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always change them!</p> <p>I'm also starting to click through to make sure it's linked to a proper source, not google or tumblr. It drives me nuts when that happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537681 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:25:40 +0000 fussygal 537681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same! I tried to personalize them, but lost steam for that a while ago unless its something I want to point out or remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537668 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:14:57 +0000 KissMeCait 537668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have something like 4500 pins and I recall completely changing all of 2 of them. I normally will either delete the whole caption and just space bar so that it lets me accept or I'll edit what was originally there to only include a description and not all of the other stupid commentary. I don't want people thinking I'm overly excited about some random chocolate cake recipe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537659 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:08:31 +0000 runsyellowlites 537659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I do sometimes I don't. I really should start changing them more though so I'm sure to remember why I liked them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537658 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:08:27 +0000 Ash 537658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same as the majority... keep it if it makes sense and edit if it doesn't.<br /> @anonysquire: my mom does the same thing. It drives me nuts :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537645 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:58:22 +0000 ladyfingers 537645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually use the description that's there, unless it's specific to the pinner (I'd change something like "For Emily's room") or expresses something I don't believe (like, "I'd like to see this that and the other here instead but xxx"). Sometimes I'll add something if I really love something in particular. In general though I'm pretty lazy about my repins. I always try to credit photographers/stylists in my own pins (I tend to pin largely home decor) but I almost never click through to get a source for a repin, which is lousy of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537638 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:53:52 +0000 Turd Ferguson 537638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends. If it's like, a legit description, I'll keep it. However, it's is something personal or just plain stupid, I'll change it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537636 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:52:52 +0000 luckypenny 537636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes but not usually </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537632 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:50:13 +0000 JerricaBenton 537632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much always do unless it is a straight description. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537623 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:43:11 +0000 anonysquire 537623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never make my own. Either does my mom. It's so funny to read some of her captions, like perfect for babies room. Then I jokingly ask if shes prego. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537614 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:36:01 +0000 Meridian 537614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually make my own caption... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537592 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:15:14 +0000 photojane 537592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always make my own because I'm a control freak. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537591 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:14:54 +0000 Sweet T 537591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I change a lot of them. I don't like when an entire recipe is in the description, so I'll delete it and just write whatever the pin is. I remove personal things like "perfect for X." I'd say I edit them more often than not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537588 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:13:27 +0000 birdofafeather 537588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I change ones that don't make sense for me or don't apply to what I liked about the pin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537579 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:09:21 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 537579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make my own every time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-the-descriptions-on-pins-pinterest#post-537569 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 19:05:28 +0000 Boogs 537569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it already says what I would say I don't touch it. I do modify a good number of them, though. </p>
