How to pin

A board is where you collect a set of "pins" about a certain topic and allows you to organize the items you pin. When you log in to Pinterest for the first time, you will see that there are several boards already created for you. You can keep these boards, edit their titles, or delete them. Want to create a new board? On the top of the Pinterest home page, on the right of the logo, you will see an "add" link. Click and select "create a new board." After you have boards set up, you can start pinning.

You can either pin an item manually by clicking the add link and filling out the "add a pin" form or you can install the "Pin It" button to your browser's tool bar—here are step by step instructions on how to do that. When you find something on the Web that you would like to pin, click the Pin It button and it will show you all of the images on that Web page. Select the image you want to pin, choose the appropriate board, and write a short description. Pinterest is an image-driven Web site, so Web resources with pictures are the best for pinning.
