Hello and welcome to my tutorial on Pinterest.
And for those of you who are not too familiar with Pinterest, it's simply a tool
that allows you to organize as well as share things that
you have an interest in with other such as decorations, recipes, and so much more.
You can browse other people's pinboards. It is definitely permitted.
And it's a great way to discover new things and get inspiration from others of
similar interests.
Now as you can see, I've already signed up for an account. There's my name right there.
And you must have a facebook or twitter account to sign up for pinterest okay.
You can upload your photos to facebook or twitter.
Alright you can follow people.
You can like people, you can comment on their pictures that they post on the
website.
And one of the first things that they'll ask you is
what type of interest what are you interested in
okay. And as you can see i was interested in a lot of wedding pictures, flowers and
clothes and things of that nature.
Since I'm in the middle of planning a wedding, I do get some ideas
from Pinterest.
And as you can see they have
flowers
yellow flowers, there are some pink flowers
uh...
there is a picture of a dress, bouquets, things like that so
you can find almost anything
on this website okay.
Um if you go to categories, if you're interested in animals, architecture, art,
weddings, food and drinks,
you can simply click on it,
and I clicked on food and drink, and it will show you a lot of recipes that
people have posted up
you know people that like to cook try new things
okay
As you can see this is a cheesy corn casserole
uh... there you have slow cooked tri tips and gravy with mashed potatoes and
you can comment on it. You can
get the recipe from one another without
you know without any issues or problems
So it's definitely a useful tool and i really love it. I enjoy it you know just
communicating
you know seeing what other people put on the website.
Now to get you started once you created your account
you wanna upload your own pictures and pins so that people can see what you
are interested in as well.
So the first thing you wanna do is simply click on add
and there will be three options that will pop up for you. You can add a pin
from a website, you can upload a pin something that you may already have on
your computer,
or you can create a board.
Now i had already created a board so the first thing that i wanna do is show you how
to upload a pin
okay.
I'm gonna click browse.
and i like cars and so
if you've seen my previous assignments I think I had a presentation about cars. I
love cars! That's something I'm also interested in so I'm gonna click on
this picture of an Acura that I already had on my computer and click open.
Alright and this is a board that I already created It's called cars. Very simple.
if you wanted to create a new board you can simply click on the dropdown arrow and
type in here what you want to create,
but since I've already created my board,
it says describe your pin
okay
So you can type in a phrase um... about how you love cars or
this is an Acura. I'm gonna simply type in this is an Acura.
Alright I'm gonna put I love cars
and a smiley face so so you can see you know how it works.
Once you type in a phrase, you can pin it and once you pin it
other people can see your picture. It's uploaded, people can comment on your
picture.
They can see your ideas or you know things of that nature. It's a very
fun tool, and it is very simple. It's not hard at all
to operate Pinterest. That's the only thing you have to do is simply click on
add
You can upload your pin as I showed you.
Type in a phrase and just click upload and it automatically appears so it's a very
simple tool. I love it. It just helps me stay informed of what's going on.
If I want to go back to the home page I'm gonna click on the word Pinterest.
And as you can see it is on the home page for people to comment
for people to like my picture if you're familiar with facebook and twitter you can
like you can comment you can follow people
So it's a very useful tool.
I love it.
It has gift items that you can choose from
and if you want to shop for gifts that's between twenty and thirty bucks
It has a lot of pictures on here clothes and boots and jewelry.
handbags and things of that nature
and it has a price on there so you can see you know
what it cost.
