Essentially, Pintrest is a visual online "pinboard" or "scrapbook" that can organize your favorite hobbies or topics visually in categories of your choice.
Pinterest allows people to pin or upload images from websites and blogs (whether that is your own website or one you're visiting) that you find inspiring and/or beautiful. It can be done with a couple of clicks with a “Pin it” button on the menu bar of your favorite browser.
Here are the basics of getting started on Pinterest-
In a digital web world that is driven by our increasing addiction to search engines and social media, having links to your website being shared around on a social network will lead to people clicking on your link.
This means more visibility and traffic and also the possibility of being “discovered.”
Pinning 101
Pin
A pin starts with an image or video that you add to Pinterest. You can add a pin from a website using the Pin It bookmarklet or upload an image right from your computer. Any pin on Pinterest can be repinned, and all pins link back to their source.
Board
A board is where you organize your pins by topic. You could pin ideas for remodeling your bathroom to your House Projects board, for example. Boards can be secret or public, and you can invite other people to pin with you on any of your boards.
Follow
When you follow someone, their pins show up in your Pinterest home feed. You can follow all of someone's boards or just the ones you like best. To manage who you're following, go to your profile and click Following.
Unfollow
When you unfollow someone, their boards won't show up in your home feed anymore. You can unfollow all of someone's boards, or just the ones you're not that interested in. Nobody will get notified if you unfollow them.
Pin It Bookmarklet
The Pin It bookmarklet lets you easily pin things you see on websites and blogs.
Home Feed
Your home feed is a collection of pins from pinners and boards you follow. It's updated every time someone you follow adds a pin.
