Pinterest for Dummies


A popular new site among college students, Pinterest has become one of my most frequently visited sites.  Pinterest's popularity comes from its' wide variety of subject material - fashion, beauty, humor, animals, food, home decor, and more.

For those of you unfamiliar with Pinterest, the site is fairly simple once you've gotten the hang of it.  Each user has a "profile page" containing "pinboards" or collections of "pins" or posts that they have personally saved.  Users choose the names of their pinboards and the number of pinboards they have.  Once a user has their desired pinboards created, they can begin searching the sites' material by topic, popularity, or by what the people you follow have pinned recently.  When you find something that you would like to re-pin, simply hit the "repin" button and select the pinboard that you would like it to be placed into.  And that's it!


As I said, Pinterest is a very simple site to learn.  But the small amount of effort needed to master the site is completely worth it.
