Question about Pinterest

14 years ago

I have just joined and know that you can "pin" something from another website, but say you want to pin from "My Pictures" to Pinterest, can you do that? I couldn't find a way last night and I wanted to pin some of my pictures of homemade cards. Thanks~

Question about about 1st year rooted cuttings.
Q
Comments (4)
Andrew, I do not know who gave you that info, but I have never found that to be true. I have rooted literally nearly 1000 cuttings over the year and have never had an issue with them flowering the following year. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the root system would be more established the following season if you keep it growing all winter. The issue is that you will have to deal with Mites and other issues if you keep them indoors all winter under lights. Again I personally would your newly rooted plants go dormant depending on their root system, they can establish them selves next growing season. Good luck

OT: question about Pinterest
Q
Comments (7)
I wonder if it as hard to close a Twitter acct as it is to ditch FB. Some controversary going around about Pinterest. Some people don't credit back to the owner of the picture, and have used them for commercial purposes besides. We are being advised to watermark all our pics, but I guess there is a way to remove the watermark too. One blogger I know was contacted by the owner of the pic and asked to remove them. There was no link back on the pic when she found it. Photo bucket accounts can be locked too. I don't like having to have a FB or Twitter account to join Pinterest, and if enough people protest, they will change. Way too much info out there!

Question about Kaspersky Int. Sec. and about free antivirus progs
Q
Comments (7)
the free ones like AVAST, AVIRA etc also have paid versions they make their money from those and are wonderful in that they also offer a free version to help those who can not afford to pay, the free versions have a bit less on them than the paid versions of course. It benefits everyone when each person can have good updated programs on their pc which is why many of the companies do offer a free version. In pay versions Kaspersky is an excellent choice, it is likely the one I would choose if I used a pay version it or Nod 32. I personally use AVAST free on my windows machines and feel it is an excellent product. The main thing to remember is layered security so along with your fully updated Antivirus you also need good antimalware programs like malwarebytes and superantispyware which are also free which should be updated and run full scans once a week or so. In addition having spywareblaster is another layer that protects you while online and requires no scans just update it weekly and hit the enable all protection button so the shield is green. And of course a firewall, if you have a properly configured router you have a hardware firewall there protecting you but you should have a software one also, vista and windows 7 have a decent one built in. SpywareBlaster SUPERAntiSpyware Free I think you have malwarebytes already? you will of course have to get Trend Micro fully removed from the pc before changing to any other antivirus program. as important these days is to make sure everything is kept updated and patched using Secunia tool makes that easy Secunia Online Software Inspector (OSI)

Thanks ravencajun, I have checked out the Pinterest 101, but don't see where it says anything about being able to pin a picture saved on your computer. That was a good tutorial though & I will re-check it for more info. :)

In the upper right hand corner of the screen, just to the left of your name you'll see a link that says Add+

Click on Add+ and a screen will come up that says Upload a Pin. Then it will ask you to Browse your computer and find the item you want to upload. Open the item and upload it to one of your boards.

I was told by Pinterest I was accepted, but I can't seem to log in without a Facebook acct. I refuse to join Facebook. Do you know how I can sign in to Pinterest without going through FB?

I really, really really want to be on Pinterest.

From Pinterest support:

"Pinterest requires Facebook or Twitter to create a new account. We do this to make it easier to find people you already know on Pinterest and to help prevent spam accounts. Activity on Pinterest is never posted automatically: only pins/repins can be shared and you will control when you want to do so, if at all.
If you don't want to join through Facebook, we recommend opening a Twitter account because the registration is very lightweight.

After you join Pinterest, you can always unlink, or even delete, your Facebook/Twitter account and still log in with your email address and password.
Once you're ready, be sure to click your invite link from Pinterest to begin registration."

Then to disconnect your Pinterest account from Facebook:

"1.Log into Pinterest and go to your Settings page (https://pinterest.com/settings/)
2.Change "Link to Facebook/Twitter" to OFF. Click Save. This disconnects the Facebook/Twitter account"

Here is a link that might be useful: Pinterest Support

that is why I am not on many of those sites as a registered member I WILL NOT as in NEVER have a Facebook account period.I think it is extremely unfair and discriminating to limit users that way.

I do scroll through pinterest and find good recipes to copy but that is the extent of it.

There are several similar sites to pinterest out there.

I have a Facebook account but rarely use it. I mostly have some local businesses and websites that I like, there. I even joined using a fictitious name.

Thanks RavenCajun. I didn't know anyone could go into Pinterest and browse and download recipes. I looked at Pinterest briefly once, and it doesn't interest me at all to join.

RavenCajun! My soul sister!

Once again, I'm so thankful I don't have children. They wouldn't be allowed near FB, ever, and then I would again be the meanest mom in the world!

You do not have to be a member of Facebook to join Pinterest. Send me your email and I will send you an invitation to join.

Caroline, I was also accepted by Pinterest and they want me to link to my (all private) FB account. Because of that, I haven't done anything more with it. I haven't tried the instructions that Tally provided yet.

Yes Jasdip you can go to it and scroll through the list, I go to the one labeled Popular, if you see something of interest just click on it and it will take you to the link with the information on the item including the recipes associated with the pictures.
I then just save any of these to a folder I created on my computer titled Pinterest finds. You can also just create a new fave/bookmark file in your browser and save them there. The recipes I like I also usually copy then paste into a word document and save it to my recipes folder. This process works
great for me.
If I feel like sharing some things I copy the link to an email and send it out.
