My Low Sugar Pinterest Board |

A typical Pin |
Every now and then my page will be filled with someone shopping for a wedding dress or chocolate cupcakes (dozens of pins of them!) and I'll have to go back and UNFOLLOW that person or limit it to just a certain board of theirs.
Mostly I just get ideas from the photos on Pinterest. But some of the ideas I follow back to the original source to read the artical or blog post. You can PIN an idea to your own board, which makes it easier to find later, or just LIKE it. When you click on the PIN/photo it pops up a page with just that PIN and some options for you. You can click it again and it takes you to the original page that the photo came from. I found this very cool necklace for my son's 10th birthday and Pinterest pointed me to the Etsy shop that sold it. His name is Archer, so it was perfect!
You can also add content from anywhere on the web by clicking on ADD+, Add a Pin and then pasting in the URL of the post. If will bring up a list of the photos from that post and an opportunity to add a description.
You also learn a little something about your pinning friends. For example, one of our fellow bloggers is shopping for a nice dress for her child's wedding! We get to see all the samples she likes (they are gorgeous!) - how cool is that? If you are a visual person it is very easy to use. I like Social Media in general, but it is my favorite new find, thanks to all the great pinners.
Fellow bloggers can also add a "follow me" on your own blog! Keep on Pinnin'!

My sister has her 2nd month's weigh in later this week, so come back Thursday to check in! Month 1 she lost 13 lbs and her goal is 100 lbs this year. I hope you will help me cheer her on!
I have yet to start a pinterest page. I guess I hesitate to because that just another site to suck time away from me, but I can see the usefulness of pinning everything into one spot so that you can easily find things again when you want to, instead of forgetting things you come across from all over the web. Maybe I'll give it a try. I can always delete my account if I decide that it's not worth my time.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sister M, I can't wait for your weigh-in this week! :)
ReplyDeleteI swapped Facebook for Pinterest. A lot more gratifying. I think I'll follow you on pinterest. I imagine your recipes and ideas are a lot healthier than the ones I have pinned.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber! I had been wanting to check this out.
ReplyDeleteI am following you on Pinterest. I like it alot too but I have a difficult time going back to original site to get the recipe. That was where I found the chicken/mozzarella pizza crust.
ReplyDeleteO please, anything else than pinterest. I've tried it and it doesn't work. Try Brad Callen Niche Finder and you will see that 'pinterest' is a non profitable keyword and bad niche idea.
ReplyDeletecant wait for your sisters post today!
ReplyDeleteHi Amber, I love pinterest and now I am following you. I like your food ideas...thanks, Eva
