another pinterest fan here.
I have always loved scrapbooking in past.
its like an online scrap book.
I use safari as my browser with pinterest as downloaded the pin it button to my tool bar.
I started off just random boards
can set up as many subject boards as you like
examples
home
party ideas
adult fashion
kids fashion
kids stuff-as they have so much.
education -where pinned lots playrooms/homeschool rooms mostly american but also when searched home schooling loads come up.
fave places-holiday ideas
might do an xmas one as be like virtual shopping list as references retailer its from. best of all you have option to write something next to pic. if you put £ and price it then adds price to the picture.
science experiments.
when you pin a picture it adds to wall and references the source underneath mostly to blogs or websites which tell me how to
make moon sand
recipie for that lush cake
how to make play dough or homemade paint.
lapbooking-omg loads of lovley pics made the concept much clearer to me.
this way I have discovered loads of new blogs.
my freind who has similar tastes tags kids clothes which i then like.
its not really like fb as its open not private.
anyone can see.
I am following strangers from usa
usa people following me
people also if they like you pin can make a comment or repin onto their boards by just clicking repin in corner.
the pinterest has a homepage of all the recent pins in chronologiocal order.
it must have taken me 45mins to set up.
but onec up and running quick and easy.
you can pin anything off fb but can off twitter, websites and blogs.
some blogs have pin it button.
I find facebook to intrusive and showy like every ones either trying to portray the perfect staged life or dram queens living their entire lives by fb
ps the organised home pics seriously love as im messy and disorganised and wish I wasent. I heart organising a scary but lovley thread.
I have fund the education bits really useful as basically its just bookmarking stuff on a board to read later when have time!
