| Pinterest Does anyone here is use Pinterest? I tried it last night and I will be honest I don't "get it". What am I suppose to be doing besides repin pictures from people who follow me? Can someone offer me a quick tutorial of how I am suppose to add outside of my followers (because honestly their stuff is not all that Pinteresting).

Will you come back and give us lessons please LOL. I am so GLAD I am not the only one who isn't quite sure why I have to be a member of Pinterest. It might be a fun way to save items I like when web surfing but I can't figure out how to pin those items

| Had that issue also and realized I had to "confirm repin" which takes a long time to appear.

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | Great place to share recipes lots of home ideas. I just got it last week and still figuring it out. I do know when you pin something you put it into a category. Then it will be in your profile. So it will take you to that page when you pin it. Then when on that page hit the category you want it in and hit repin.

| I look at Pinterest like an online filing system for things that interest you. I do a lot of DIY things, so I spend a lot of time in crafts and DIY. Within your profile you set up catagories. I set up one for "DIY" that way, when I find something on Pinterest I may want to make or do later I can then easily find it in my profile under DIY. It saves my old aged mind from having to remember what it was called, and where it was that I seen it and having to go find it again. We have also been doing some redecorating so I have different catagories set up for different rooms I am working on and when I find something I'd like for my kitchen, I repin it to my kitchen catagory. Honestly, I don't really get the idea of having friends follow you though. Except that maybe they will find something that you too might like, but I see it more of a personal filing system of ideas and inspiration. That's the readers digest condensed version. LOL

| I love Pinterest!!! I'm handy and LOVE DIY PROJECTS...but I'm not very creative, so can never come up with ideas myself. But on Pinterest people post their ideas and things they come across...and boom...I've got ideas for DIY projects Now if only I could find something to motivate me to finish projects I start

| It's just like here on YT, you browse the PINS (threads) and see what interests you and then you can comment on them, and/or like them so it reflects your style on your profile, and/or you can pin them to add to your boards for your own future reference and so you can share cool things/ideas with your followers. But, just like YT, it works best when everyone contributes by starting your own PIN (thread) by uploading something interesting that you come across. The more that is shared, the more there is to browse

Now let me ask, do I need to upload things that interest me or can I pin something like example a recipe from Allfoods.com? If can just pin it how do I add a pin? Do I need to use Pinterest as my web broweser (this is the part that is confusing me, it seems I can only pin things that others have already pinned, why can't I start a new pin).
