Pinterest

Have you heard about Pinterest?
It is "a content sharing service that allows members to "pin" images, videos and other objects to their pinboard".
There are no real directions and starting up is much easier if a friend introduces you and helps you set up your first "pinboard". 
Do you remember those days of cutting out magazine articles and saving them for later? That is what Pinterest reminds me of. I "pin" pictures to "boards" as reminders of what I what to buy, read, cook, diy projects to try, placesto go, and dreams I have.

For those who haven't tried it, or who tried then got frustrated and quit.....here is a basic help to kick start your pinning.
1. Join Pinterest at www.pinterest.com. You can also join through your Facebook account.
2. The top frame contains a "search" field on the left, the Pinterest Name in red in the middle, and your name on the right.
3. That is the main page you see when you first go on. It contains the images of people you follow.
For your first visit, the images are random. If you like one, you can click on the image, click on the red "pin". Then you decide what category or pinboard to place the image. You can crate boards immediately as you pin by clicking on "Board" and  typing in the name in the "Create New Board" and clicking on "Create".
4. You can also "like" images or comment on images - just know that others can see your likes and your comments.
5. If you do not want others to see what you have, you can create secret boards. But, part of the fun is sharing your finds with family and friends.
6. "Followers" are those who like what you find and so use you as a source for their pins. "Following" allows you to to see what others pin. The "search" field is another way for you to look for specific images.
7. There is a "Pin It" download you can get from the site that allows you to grab images from most web sites and pin.
8. If you click on your name, you will be able to navigate the site. Choices are:Your Pins, Your Boards, Add Pin, Settings, Help Center, Find Friends, Log Out.

That's the basics. Go explore and have fun!
