Another Pinterest question

[Leontine78]

I signed up yesterday but I have no clue.....how do I pin?
And how do I organise?

Can someone help me find my path there?

2 ways to Pin

Go to the command lines Add>Add a Pin> then insert your web URL for the thing you want to pin

Or in that same area, grab the "PIN IT" button and drag it to your toolbar - then whenever you're out on the web and want to pin something, you just click Pin It from your toolbar, and it pulls up the menu for you in Pinterest.

Organization is however you want to make it. Create your boards
Leontine>Boards>Add a Board or you can add one when you first pin something if you'd like. Look at how some of the other people that you follow organize to see if any of them might work for you, or find your own path!

Thanks! I will give it a try during the weekend.

Once you get started be prepared to lose yourself for a couple of hours!

Leontine, thanks for asking questions and ladies, thanks for answering them. Pinterest is still a bit confusing to me.

Just think of it as a visual bookmark site...that's easier to manage than the typical bookmark managers on most browsers. You can either look at other people's examples..or you can put in your own.

I've been slowly moving my bookmarks into it (they must have a video or image to be able to pin), to have a secondary place to have them, in case they're lost.

Lost is a good word.....downloading a pin-button! Why isn't there anyways?
Thanks for explaining Darcy....
