What the heck is Pinterest anyway???

Many of you have asked to some information on Pinterest..

Actually, just one.

But I am here to help..selflessly and without any form of payment or adoration for my expertise..

OK, so in the interest of  Pinterest {ahh..I crack me up sometimes}here's what I've learned..and taken directly   copied  from the Pinterest site:

{note to Mr. Spell Check Person, ...I am too spelling 'Pinterest' correctly..}

What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard.

Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes.
Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests. To get started, request an invite.

**{this is good..I have filled up so many "folders" on my computer that I don't even know what they contain..or where they are..or why I did it in the first place..}

Pinterest is special because of the people who use it.

{they're talking about me, you know, right??}

The guidelines below are based on collective input from people using Pinterest. These are suggestions to help keep our community positive and to ensure that every pin is useful to other people.

Be Nice

Pinterest is a community of people. We know that tastes are personal, but be respectful in your comments and conversations.

Credit Your Sources

Pins are the most useful when they have links back to the original source. If you notice that a pin is not sourced correctly, leave a comment so the original pinner can update the source. Finding the original source is always preferable to a secondary source such as Google Image Search or a blog entry.

Avoid Self Promotion

Pinterest is designed to curate and share things you love. If there is a photo or project you’re proud of, pin away! However, try not to use Pinterest purely as a tool for self-promotion.

Report Objectionable Content

We do not allow nudity or hateful content. If you find content that is objectionable or violates our Terms of Service can submit the content for review by pushing the “Report Content” link.

Have fun and if you need an "invite" just let me know {I will need your email address..your credit card number..and your dog's first name.. and the date of your anniversary..}

OK, OK..just your email address.  And M&M's.  I am particularly fond of M&M's..plain.
