I do lots of hopping around on there and find household hints, great recipes, fantasy kitchens and farmhouse living, gardening. Most of these things I'll probably never get to, but they give me ideas that I can use for other things maybe. I've used several recipes. Found lots of great websites and new blogs to enjoy, too. I suppose there is some Pinterest etiquette. At first I tried to connect back to the original post or picture and give original credit, but sometimes you go back 10-15 or more sites and you can never find the original and sometimes I just give up. Too time-consuming. Computering eats up WAY too much of my time anyway. There, I've confessed. I do the best I can. But I love it, and I see that you're loving it, too.<br /><br />Tony indexes the same way that John does.

I was so surprised to find my photos being pinned by many people and am quite flattered to find my photos worthy of being pinned to your board. <br />The hints on whitening pillows is great; I have lots of pillows of varying density to offer guests and several of them are so yellowed I was reluctant to offer them.

I was always the type to clip things out of newspapers and magazines and put them in "to do" folders, and Pinterest is another way to do that. I have to admit I can get lost for hours on it so I try to limit my views now a days. I think the best thing to do is organize boards in the beginning. If you pin all food under a broad category of "Food" pretty soon you will have too much in that board and it will be hard to find what you want.<br />I think Pinterest has a page on pinning etiquette on the bottom of their "basics" page. I have found that some pins are spam or go to just a photo and no text. T always report spam or bogus pins to Pinterest. I also try to look at the source of the pin before I pin it. Too many will click through to Tumblr or Google and therefore have no source --I've learned to try not to re-pin those pins if I see that.<br /><br />Have fun and enjoy it, Vee! There are lots of fun ideas to do with the grandchildren on Pinterest!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-2559991702469953982013-02-27T00:04:07.056-05:002013-02-27T00:04:07.056-05:00I've peeked in at Pinterest several times and ...I've peeked in at Pinterest several times and see that I could easily get very attached to it.

I have over 4000 Pins and I spend anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour during the week and on the weekend maybe longer. I love to find recipes, crafting, sewing, home decor, jewelry, quotes & sayings, Autumn, Cleaning Tips, Christmas and more. It's so fun and very useful.

I need to clean up some of my boards as they are as cluttered as my files at home. I have known some who seriously must spend their entire day there. How can you be productive or even be able to find your pins if you have 25,000 of them. I'd recommend not getting carried away by pinning thousands of things that you'll never be able to use or find again. Stick to what interests you and what is manageable. Also, be wary of the site you're pin leads to. Sometimes they are less than reputable. There's much more that I've learned but don't want to overflow your comment box Vee. Maybe I'll do a post soon on some pinterest tips. Thanks for all the lovely photos that you share here. It's a pleasant place to visit. ~ AbbyLittle Birdie Blessingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673752124765885843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-68451312369568003322013-02-26T16:53:02.032-05:002013-02-26T16:53:02.032-05:00Wow, what a discussion.

It is, however, VERY rich -- and I could only have a tiny bit at a time. I love Pinterest -- but go in stages with it. Sometimes I browse on Pinterest if I'm really looking for something. Most of the time, I use it to "save" ideas that I see in my blog-reading.

Thanks for re...LOL, I found you several weeks ago. Thanks for repining a few of my pins! I just have a simple picture link on my blog's sidebar that says "Pinterest." Good enough for me! I don't think I'm doing anything wrong by that since I am not trying to mimic their design fonts. Your little Pinterest button is oh-so tiny, I had to look 4 times to finally find it. It seems like you could use a bigger icon than that.<br /><br />One thing that I recommend is to always check a pin and make sure that it goes to where it says it does. I find about 25% of the pins are not correctly linked. In those cases, I create a new pin that is precisely directly. You can also check who has been pinning from your blog. And it looks like you've been pinned already quite a bit! the web address for checking is: pinterest/com/source/yourblogaddresshere Of course, add your particular blog address in the noted spot.<br /><br />I have found it very useful for personal bookmarks. If you notice on mine, I also find a lot of useful photography information articles and pin them for interest to friends who are following my boards..<br /><br />Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.com
