It is a site that has ALOOOT of pictures I love it because I got to see so many cool hairstyles, recipes,crafts, etc that I don't see anywhere else. It's a reall cool website.. And how to use it: If you see a picture and you just like it, you click the heart, but if you see a picture you absolutely love, you repin it. You can make your own boards by creating one, and that allows you to organized your pictures that you repinned, or uploaded.

Pinterest is a pinboard-style photo-sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections such as events, interests, and hobbies. Users can browse other pinboards for images, "re-pin" images to their own pinboards, or "like" photos. ...

how to use it

1. Join Pinterest
Visit pinterest.com and click Join Pinterest. It will ask you to join by connecting with Facebook or Twitter, but a third option lets you sign up using your email address.

To connect with Facebook, you need to give the app permission to access your basic info, email address, birthday, and likes. This lets the app post activity on your behalf, though you can decide whether or not your pins get reposted to Facebook. It automatically imports your Facebook photo; you can then create a username and password. Here you can uncheck or leave checked two boxes: "Follow recommended friends" and "Publish activity to Facebook Timeline."

By connecting with Twitter, you're giving the app permission to read tweets from your timeline, see who you follow and follow new people, update your profile, and post tweets for you.

Not cool with these stipulations? Dive in on your own by signing up with just your email. You'll be asked a few more questions such as your gender since that info isn't imported from an existing social media account. Upload a profile photo and proceed.

2. Follow Some Boards
Once you have an account, you'll need to find fascinating boards to fill your feed. Pinterest gets you started by suggesting some. Select a category from the list such as Design, Geek, Science & Nature, and Technology among others, and then check at least five boards to continue.

These boards are just to get you going. As you navigate the site you'll find other boards worth following. For more recommendations, see PCMag's picks for tech boards to follow on Pinterest. Keep in mind that most accounts have multiple boards, so if you follow an account you automatically follow all its boards. You can also follow specific boards, and can unfollow a board at any time without the account being notified.

3. Verify Your Account
After selecting some boards you'll receive an email confirmation.

Once you verify your account, the next screen you'll see is your home feed, which features the most recent pins from people you follow. The more users or boards you follow, the more content will turn over.

4. Adjust Settings
Now is a good time to adjust your settings. Mouse over the drop-down menu in the upper right-hand corner with your picture and click Settings. Here you can update basic information, opt out of email notifications, and connect or disconnect your Facebook or Twitter account.

I think that will help you
