I got onto Pinterest about a year ago. I had NO clue how to use it. I'm the type of girl that made boards like ESPN and "Latest in Sports" and NFL and stuff like that.
I've been to innumerable showers and parties with cute decorations and ideas and every time I ask where they got that idea from, without fail, the answer was Pinterest. So I assumed I was using it wrong. I'm sure that the ladies out there who are looking for cute invitations and yummy recipes aren't also looking for what the latest happenings are with the Colts.
So I spent some time on there and discovered, it's pretty awesome. For a person who has ZERO experience in crafts, baking, decor or kids, I still found my passions come to life on the website. It's such a cool idea! So I figured I'd share some tips of what I discovered on Pinterest.
You can search for anything and everything! Using the "Search" bar at the top left corner, I found some of the coolest ideas from one word than I could ever imagine!
You can also search for things in a specific category. I was starving at work so naturally I looked "Food & Drink" under the category search and it pulled up the latest pins on everything food related - desserts, breakfast, healthy cooking, baking, seasonal foods, you name it, you can find it there.
You can also keep up with all of your friends' boards, but better yet, you can copy their ideas so you can always remember them. I discovered the art of repinning, but better yet, I discovered that when you click on the picture, there are a million other cool ideas that are on the original source's website! I've found more ideas that way, than what I've found on the Pinterest website.
I am a very tech-savvy person, but I just couldn't seem to figure out what this website was trying to accomplish. Now that I've explored and conquered, I am kind of addicted. Happy Pinning!
