How to Embed Pinterest Pins on WordPress without them Disappearing

Posted by on October 15th, 2018

I love using Pinterest to embed content into WordPress. It’s great! It’s an endless source of content, and for the most part all of the credit you need to offer back to the original creator of the pin is already contained within the pin. You aren’t hosting images on your own space as well, so it’s an all around win. Embedding pins from Pinterest is as easy as pasting in a little bit of embed code. Easy enough, right?

How To: Add Users to Google Analytics

Posted by on August 17th, 2018

Hello and welcome to another episode of “hasOptimization Explains the Internet”! Today we’re talking about my personal favorite topic, Google Analytics. Google Analytics is the most widely used tool for website analytics. It tracks a vast amount of data points about your site, your users/visitors, and ultimately, it tells you a lot about your marketing and the overall success of your website. We LOVE Google Analytics here at hasOptimization, and asking for access to your site data is probably one of the very first technical-ish things we will ask about when you first become a client. Today, we’re not going…
