What an announcement, right? Β Welcome back to 2010 my friends! Β I may as well write a post about just discovering hand sanitizer! Β I’ve said it before that I’m not a trendsetter, and joining Pinterest is no exception.

Now, I may be a little slow on the uptake but once I “take?” Β I’m all over it. Β You just wait – I will be pinning and creating boards and, um…errr, whatever the hell else you do out there, on the only speed I know – fast! Β Fortunately, I’m a quick study and this is what I’ve learned so far:

1. Β Tamara, Janine, The Dose Girls and Michelle areΒ reallyΒ big deals out there. Β Damn ladies! Β When there’s a comma involved with the number of people who follow you, that’s like another dimension of super social-mediadom that I know nothing about. Β Teach me your ways sensei.

2. Β You need to make the cover of your boards visually appealing. Β Eye candy. Β I get it.

Is this good for my "running shoes" board?  Too much?

Is this a good image for my “running shoes” board? Too much?

3. Β You can organize and categorize everything! Β There’s 357 boards for what essentially is all FITNESS – workouts, activity, health, get your sweat on, 30/20/10/5 minute workouts – and only one beautifully universal word for COCKTAILS. Β Oh Pinterest you are a mysterious temptress!

WHAT ARE THE RULES?

Obviously I’m still working on setting up boards and pinning however, before I get too carried away, I need to know what not to do! Β I mean, that isΒ wayΒ more important – don’t you think? Β Remember all those people who announced illicit affairs or their money laundering activity all over FB thinking it was a “private message?” Β Right.

What I really need is help with etiquette. Β I actually need help with that in all facets of my life but let’s focus here people! Β First of all pleaseΒ FOLLOW ME…and I will follow back. Β Second, tell me everything you need to know (or maybe justΒ oneΒ thing) about pinning, re-pinning, commenting, boards – whatever silent rules there are to the Pinterest gang – I need to know!

 

Any and all Pinterest related advice is welcome! Β Is there one thing you wish you didn’t do on Pinterest? Β
