An great place to find new interests and save your favourite things

Hi all,

I began using Pinterest a few months ago and since, I have been finding lots of new and interesting websites and 'things' on a daily basis.

Pinterest is basically an online pin board. When you register for an account, you get a blank pin board which you can start adding things to. You can start this straight away by looking at what other people have put on their pin boards and if you like it you can add it to yours. You can also find people that you like and follow them so that you can see what they are adding on a regular basis. Another great thing you can do is download a 'pin it' button on to your web browsers tool bar which allows you to add anything you like from across the whole internet if you like it. All you have to do it press this button when you're on a website or page that you like.

I know it sounds a bit weird, but it really is a lovely way to spend 20 minutes a day and really simple use (unlike other of these new fangled websites!) and a great way to keep reminders of things that you like in one place in a quick and simple way.

If you are interested, you can also have a look at my pin boards as I have set up my own account and I have been pin-boarding my heart out! Just visit http://pinterest.com/katiescards/ and you will find all of the things I have pinned. If you join yourself, be sure to let me know and we can follow each other!
