Why not?...
....I sent the PM!...
Your invite was sent out first thing my morning time here!

Sorry RuthyB, not sure yet how to find people on Pinterest, but I think I saw something about it in the top drop-down menu? Haven't tried it myself yet.

Over the river and through the woods...
Anne, I'm kind of lost here. Can I upload pics from my computer on the TCS board? Can I move pins from one board to another (somehow the few recipes I found are in the "book" board)? Can I create more boards other than what is offered?

Stupid questions I know, but I'm basically "computer challenged". I have NO idea what I'm doing! 


Oh, just a suggestion, if you can create your own category for TCS board maybe make a RB category?

Only you can pin pictures to your boards - and you can have several boards.

You basically have three ways of doing that -

1. Upload from your computer.

2. Use the Pinterest bookmarklet

3. Re-pin images that you see on the Pinterest site on other people's boards.

The Pinterest bookmarklet is like a bookmark you drag to your browser's bookmarks menu. You can get it by doing the following -

At the top right corner of your Pinterest page click where it says Add+

This should bring up this pop-up:



See where it says "Pin It" button? If you click on that link, hold it and drag it to your browser's top navigation menu, it should stay there.

From then on, whenever you see a nice image on the web, just click on that button. It will bring up a Pinterest window with all the major images on that page and ask you to select which one you want to pin.

It's really easy once you get the hang of it (though like with every interface, the first time can be daunting!)

Now, as far as I know, unless there's some special permission given, a board can only be managed by the board owner. So, unfortunately, I can't have TCS members pinning directly on the TCS boards (I wish I could!) An RB board is an interesting idea - let me think about it though. The thing is, once pinned, other users can repin those images and say whatever they want about them. I'm just not sure it's a good idea when we're dealing with grieving people?

Hi Kayla and welcome to TCS!

I just sent you an invite and then edited your email out of your post - don't want spammers hunting those down!
