To make a board on Pinterest:
- Go to the Pinterest site, and create an account.
- Once you have created an account, log in, and go to the top of your screen and click on "Add +"
- Click "Create a board."
- Name the board, select a category, make it "Secret" if you like (Secret boards are not visible to anyone but you), add other friends to your board if you like, and click the button at the bottom that says "Create Board."
- Once you have created your board, you can add pins to it a few ways:
a) You can pin images from various websites using the "Pin It Button" feature (see below for instructions on how to install that on your
Toolbar).
b) You can upload your own images by clicking on "Add +", and then click on "Upload a Pin."
c) You can repin images already on Pinterest by clicking on the image, and then clicking "Repin." You'll then be given the option to choose which board you'd like to pin the image to.
To install the Pin In Button on Pinterest:
- Go to the Pinterest site, and create an account.
- Once you have created an account, log in, and go to the top of your screen and click on "About."
- Click on "Pin It Button."
- Scroll down until you see the square "Pin It" button, and drag the button to your toolbar.
- The Pin It Bookmarklet lets you take images you like and add them to your Pinterest boards. Just click it when you see something on your screen that you want to pin.
