Before you start pinning all your posts on Pinterest it’s important to understand what the site is all about. Pinterest allows members to save things they find online (pins) and organize those pins into “boards” any way they want. The goal is to help members better organize the things they like, want to buy, want to try, want to learn, etc.
Long before the internet, home decorators used to tell clients to clip images of things they liked in magazines and save them in a folder or notebook torefer to while decorating their homes. Pinterest is the techie approach todoing the same thing but not just for home decorating. It’s the web’s answer to information overload.
You can use it to save craft instructions, cleaning instructions, patio ideas, parenting tips, and recipes – and that’s just to get started. Instead of wondering which link in your list of browser bookmarks held that one idea for turning a garbage pail into a cool night stand you can refer to the board you’ve built called Crafts to Try, quickly find the project image and click over to the page on the web that held the instructions.
