Have you joined Pinterest?

Have you heard of Pinterest or have you joined yet? When you find awesome stuff on the internet you can use Pinterest to save it. pins on Pinterest are visual bookmarks for anything that you find and want to keep. So what can you do with these pins that you save on Pinterest? You can pin them to a board which has a specific theme or subject. For example, if you love Zumba and you find pictures/ information about Zumba online, you can pin it onto a board on Pinterest and call the board Zumba, just as if you have organised them into a folder. You can follow other people’s boards if you’re interested in the things that they are pining onto their boards. Other people who have joined Pinterest can follow any of your boards too. If you see a pin that you really love, you can pin it to any of your own boards. You can like other people’s pins and they too can like anything that you pin. 


 So how exactly do you create a pin? You simply go onto one of your boards and click on add a pin and select the web or your computer to upload a picture you like. Once you have uploaded your image, you need to select the board that you want to pin it to from your drop down menu, then write a description of what your pin is. You also have the option to share your pin with Twitter and Facebook by clicking on the boxes underneath your description. Then once you click on pin it, it will pin it onto the board that you selected. If you have pins that you want to promote that you have pinned to a board, you don’t have to go from the whole process that I have just explained, you can simply go onto that pin and re-pin it as many times as you like. This is a really awesome site and there are so many things on it that are interesting and helpful and fun.
