How do I get started pinning?

[dlane1987]

The first thing you'll need to do is get a Pinterest account. You can go to the Pinterest website
and request an invite (yes, there's currently a waiting list) or ask a
friend who is already on Pinterest to send you an invite.


Once you're on, the next thing you'll need is the "Pin It" button
installed in your browser toolbar. This magic little button is what
allows you to pin things online. Installing the button is very easy --
when you're in your Pinterest account, look to the upper right-hand
corner and hover above "About," then click on "Pin It Button" and follow
the directions to drag the button into your toolbar.

Or instead of using the "Pin It" button, you can also copy and paste
links from sites you like, and it will search for photos from that page,
which you can then pin. You can also upload photos from your computer.
