Pinterest for Dummies (Like Me)

For the past couple weeks, I've been working on my new Pinterest account's boards. In case you don't know, Pinterest is a social media platform which allows you to "pin" images taken from the internet in one central location. Of course, it's a lot more involved than just that, but I'm still learning the ropes there.

When I first made my foray into the twitter world, I blogged a few times about my experiences/adventures there. Going on 18,000 tweets later, and I'm not sure I'm an experienced user because I learn something new about twitter daily, it seems.

At any rate, I thought it would be fun to blog about my also taking the plunge at Pinterest. Since I enjoy watching film noir, I set up a board on the different recent movies I've liked viewing. The other boards have been more challenging to identify and select. I included one on D.C. baseball and the new movies in 2014 I'll see.

I'm sure I'll have new ideas as time goes by. Today I "followed" three other accounts, including one that had "pinned" one of my old book's cover which is pretty cool to see. Anyway, this is where I hang my hat, so to speak, on Pinterest:

I plan do a couple of future blogs about what I've learn as I tackle trying to understand what Pinterest is all about. I don't spend a lot of my social media time there right now, but I have made it part of my weekly regimen.
