"Oh How pinteresting!"

[BlackAffronted]

A lot of blogs I follow do this on a Wednesday, but Ive no idea what it is what you do? I know its obviously something to do with Pinterest, but could someone explain it a bit more for me? Wondering if it's something I can join in with.

you can. go on the pinterest web site and ask for an invitation. Hopefully a few days later one will ping through on your email and you can join. You can then 'pin' pcitures and items on the internet you find interesting. Have fun!

I just joined at the weekend, got my invitation pretty quickly. Not sure I have quite sussed it out properly yet but will persevere, only took me a year to 'get' twitter!

Oh I have Pinterest :) I just wondered what you do for an "oh how pinteresting" blog post?

Now I need to know too :o

Even googling it isnt helping! I really want to join in a lot of these kind of posts, but no-one ever explains them - frustrating!

Pinterest is a visual social network channel where you can collate different things that interest you. So for example I have created what's called a 'board' (imagine a pinboard) on places I love - from Cornwall to amazing looking hotels and then for fun there's also a board on beautiful men. It's effectively an online scrapbook where you can 'pin' things you are interested in. You can make it as personal as you wish - and can also follow other people as they create new boards.
Hope that helps : )

I'm new to Pinterest, and having tons of fun creating my boards! Just need to find people to follow now and get some inspiration!

Hi,

This isn't something that I've ever taken part in but I take part in similar link ups. You need to find the original blog that hosts the linky, which is here - www.thevintageapple.com/2012/04/oh-how-pinteresting_25.html

Just write and publish your post on your blog. It looks as though it's a post where you can share things that you've pinned this week. Then when it's published you can add it to the linky on the site. Scroll down to the bottom to where it says "Submit your link" and fill in your details. In the link title field you want to put your name and blog name. Then your post will appear in the list, and you can browse through the list to see everyone else's posts.

Make sure that the link you include is a link to the actual post that you've written, not just to your blog.

When you write your own post you should include a link to the host site, which you can do via their button. At the bottom of their post you'll see a box which contains some HTML code which you can just paste into your post and which will display the button and include a link for you automatically (you might need to go into HTML view for the post).

Hope that makes sense, sorry if you knew this already and let me know if there is anything else I can help with!

Forgot to say, it will be open for anyone to join in you just need to add in the link to your post, the more the merrier!

Thanks Jennifer, I think I know what its all about now! I do a lot of pinning, so I think I might join in with this :)
