Pintrest has been popping up everywhere!
I got an invitation to join so I did. And I didn't get it. I didn't get Facebook either, but it didn't take long understand. Same with Pintrest. Once you start following a few friends/companies/awesome people it all starts to make sense.
So here's how it works... You create boards of things that interest you. Some boards I have are: crafty goodness, food stuff, and garden stuff. You find items to pin on your board in 3 ways.
1. Your friends will post pictures and you can repin them.
2. You can search photos on Pintrest and repin them.
3. You can find your own pictures anywhere on the Internet and Pin them with the PIN IT button provided by Pintrest. You add the button into your favorites so anytime you see a picture you click it and it creates a pop up to create a new pin.
Once you log on, you will see all the pins from the people you are following. Across the top of the page you can search for people or topics.
Then the red Pintrest link to bring you back to your Pintrest home page. Then towards the right an Add+ link. Click on it to add a pin, upload a pin or create a new board.
Click ABOUT, get more info about Pintrest, find the Pin it button.
The last link will be your name/small photo to view your profile. This is where you can invite friends and follow people you know already on Pintrest.
Under that bar there is another bar still at the top of the page. You can view Pinner that follow you, view everything (categories and topics, great for special interests), videos, popular, and gifts (search for gifts, a drop down menu with $ ranges).
On the left bar you can see your activity. It will show if you followers repinned one of your pins, new people that are following you.
Finally, the Pins! You can repin from any of boards you see. You can write captions under the pinned pictures. You can 'heart' others pins.
Hope I made you less confused and not more confused. You may want to toggle between reading this and Pintrest.com. I love finding new craft ideas, recipes, pretty things, and helpful hints to make life easier.
