When you first sign up, Pinterest leads you through a process of creating boards for you, or you can create your own.

Highlight your name in the top-right corner, and use the drop-down menu to select "Boards" to edit any existing boards, or to rearrange them.

To add a new board, use the top menu to select "Add +", and the following options appear: Add a Pin, Upload a Pin, Create a board.

Once you have found an image, article or video you want to pin that is already hosted on Pinterest, hover over it and the "Repin" option appears.

Once you click this, a menu will appear, allowing you to select the correct board you wish to deposit the pin in. If you want, you can also write a short description of the item.

    I have tried 3 times to be invited to use Pinterest and have yet to receive an invitation. What gives?
