Navigating Pinterest

Topic 1 Page 6

When you sign in to Pinterest, the first thing you'll see is the homepage. From here, you can see recent pins from the people you follow, search for pins, browse categories, and do more.

To begin searching for pins, use the search bar located at the top of the page. When you begin typing, suggestions will appear to assist you in your search as well.

When you find an idea that you find useful, hover your cursor over the image and click on the red “Save” button. From there you will be asked which board you would like the activity to go under. To view your pins, click on the red thumb tack. All of your boards that you have created will be displayed with pictures. If you click on a board, you will be able to see all of your pins that correlate to that topic.

If you want to visit the original website where a pin comes from, you can select it to see a larger version, then click the image. The source website should appear in a new browser tab or window.

Creating a board
Making your own board is probably one of the first things you'll do on Pinterest. Whether you're using Pinterest to organize the things you find online or share some of your favorite stuff with other people, Pinterest makes it easy to start pinning. To create a new board, go to your profile page, then select Create Board. A window will appear. Enter the necessary information for your board, then click Create.

Adding pins to boards

Once you've created a board, you're ready to start adding pins! There are several ways to add a pin to a board. In our opinion, the easiest method is the Pin It button. This is a special button you can add to your web browser.
