This is a really nicely done tutorial. I'm pretty sure I've already verified my account, but just in case, I'll check. I'm also going to share this on a group page where there was a debate about how to verify Pinterest account. I'm from the Aloha Blog Hop. Hope you stop by some time: http://penpaperpad.com. Aloha!
