How to
How to create a board - There are basically two ways to pin.

How do I pin? – It’s easy. If you are in Pinterest, you can add a pin from a website using the Pin It bookmarklet or upload an image right from your computer. If you are in your Home Feed on Pinterest, simply scroll over the picture you want to pin. Locate the red ‘PinIt’ button and click on it. From the pulldown menu, choose your board, add a comment and click ‘PinIt’ again.
Organizing
Boards - Think of names that you can remember. Some pinners are quite creative with their board names. Others use very basic names. Group them…alphabetically…subject…color?
Home Feed - Access your home feed by clicking on the word “Pinterest” that is located at the top of the browser page.
