I finally got around to setting up my page/board/site last night and in less than 24 hours I have six boards. The boards are ever-changing as I see things that I like that don’t fall into the specific categories I’ve already set up. I’m sure I’ll be adding more. So the content and titles of my boards continually change. I guess that’s ok?? My interests include cool and graphic textiles…I love bold colors and prints, especially in bed linens, throws and pillows. I think Pinterest forced me to truly embrace who I am and what I like…I make no excuses for liking eclectic, colorful stuff. I’ve always known I like bright colors (GOLD, YELLOW, ORANGE AND RED) and stuff that isn’t necessarily matchy-matchy. Maybe Pinterest and those who are out here will finally push me into completing my DIY list for my house. In the meantime, I’m also pinning tons of recipes!! Where does this stuff come from?? :-)

But you know what else I’ve noticed in this short time? Pinterest has changed the way I view web sites now. I’m now looking at sites wondering if the content is ‘pinnable’ and anyone would find what I’m looking at as interesting. If I find it cool, I want to know if friends on Pinterest would also find it cool. Weird huh?

My daughter tried to sell me on it and I didn’t the see point (no pun intended!), but then read where you can post your own work and get a little free exposure so I stuck my toe in the water. Now I’m hooked. I knew it.

What do I pin? Mostly photography and Paris/French things. I even try and give a little help to favorite photographers etc. by going to their blogs and pinning things I love. I pin a few recipes that I’d really make and well you know the drill Wade…one board becomes two …..and well….now I have 14. Help me stop!!!

I want to put a widget on my blog but can’t figure out how to do it unless I put the URL on every blog post. That is too time consuming when I do two blogs a day. What am I missing here? The one on the sidebar takes you to my boards, so I’m stuck in Pin Land!

You could do the millionth board on home decor or wedding dresses, or something really original that will appeal to the right niche. Good job!

My favorite board is one that I created called “Don’t Hate the Players” and it features some of my favorite international soccer stars in all their glory. It’s a bit ridiculous and not a board that most people would want to follow but over 400 people who I don’t know enjoy the heck out of it.

Lots of “cool cover” boards on the service already. I am sure there is a worthy variation on that theme… just haven’t thought of it… yet…

Might make for a cool gallery.

It always makes me too hungry. But I am always ready to pin something, as long as it’s unique.

http://pinterest.com/tsutrav/

The boards I enjoy curating most are the “Work Standing Up”, “Bookcase Doors” and “In-House Slides”. All of which would raise the awesome level of anyone’s surrounding. Now a room with two or three standing desks, hidden bookcase doors AND an indoor slide… that’s toom much awesome and may be the way black holes are made.

My guilty pleasure is wallpaper. It’s amazing what some printers and craft folk are doing these days. It’s not the kind of thing you can find at Home Depot, but man they can make paper and ink do some cool things.
