4. What’s a Pin and a Board?
• Pins can be almost anything—a gift, recipe,
or even a quote.
• They’re like little bookmarks people add to
Pinterest that always point back to the sites
they came from.
• If you add the Pin It button to your site,
people can use it to add your stuff to
Pinterest.
• Boards are where people collect and
organize pins. Each board tells a story about
what the person cares about.
