Pinterest is a gift, both to an individual and to a blogger: ideas, inspiration, distraction. I love it all. This is a brilliant post to help me make the most of it!!

Hi Jenni, I am so glad you found this post… I must say I have a new and wonderful respect for all things Pinterest as I see my traffic growing from it. I love that it really is not a whole lot I do but rather what our readers do and I so love returning the favor. Gotta love the internet!!!

Hi Annabel Candy …Let’s see how I go answering your questions:
1. Very important to only follow some of someone’s boards, usually friends overlap in a couple of areas and definitely not all, it certainly reduces a lot of the stuff that you just anrn’t interested in off your list of things to look at.
2a. If you click on your name at the top of Pinterest page it will take you to “your page” with your boards and your links… At the top left is a profile corner, your name and your image. Between your name and your image it says you have “so many following and so many followers” Click on them and you will see who your followers are.
2b. However… if you want to see who is “pinning you” then you you type ” …pinterst.com/source/your url” into your feed… and it should spring back a list of your items that have been pinned.
3. You can twitter directly from pinning or later once a pin is on your board and I do that if it is “out of this world brilliant” and mention the @”person you want to thank”… they will know you pinned them via twitter or message them on Facebook… you have to have one or the other to sign up to interest anyway.
4. I find the nicest thing I can do is, if I see something awesome on a fresh blogpost then I pin it straightaway and then if folk repin it I know they will repin it from the correct source and not a photo they found elsewhere or whatever. I am all about correct sourcing. I also tweet anything awesome, my readers like to see something incredible just as much as I do!!!
Hope this helps… keep on asking/pinning!!! Glad to help you for once, Lots of love…. to that sore toe!!!

Hello again! Now I’ve been playing I have more questions:)

I get that you can just follow specific boards, not every board someone has. That’s good.

How do I know who’s following my boards? I get an email notification but is there any way to see all followers?

Also I see some people have repinned my things. That’s nice but I can’t thank them like I would on Twitter and if I read a blog post I like and pin it the blogger will never know. Is that right?

Will do as you say and try pinning a few things a day but the Firefox Bookmarklet is also flakey:(

Hay Annabel Candy, I turn my back for an instant and you get busy, busy. busy!!! Seriously!!! I think once you get into to it you will find Pinterest useful… give it a try – just a couple of pins a day for a while and see how it works out for you. Meanwhile I really hope you feel a lot better soon… though toes can take ages because they just keep getting bumped. Lots of love and have a fabulous week…
