I&#8217;m not so much a pinterest browser but rather a pinterest pinner. \u00a0I still read blogs through readers, surf the web for needed answers and research everything I do and buy. \u00a0Hence the happiness with Pinterest. \u00a0I pin what I like wherever I find it. \u00a0I definitely know of several improvements they could make and still don&#8217;t understand how they make money, but that is a post for another day. (but if you know how they make money let me know) So, if you&#8217;re not pinning then get too it. \u00a0Here are three tips for you<\/p>\n<p>1. \u00a0Use it as a resource and not a time waster. \u00a0The internet sucks our time and pinterest may yet be another time warp. Don&#8217;t let it happen to you&#8230; &#8230;.except for maybe Rainy Days and Mondays.<\/p>\n<p>2. \u00a0Like things rather than pin. \u00a0You can still find what you liked but don&#8217;t have to clutter your boards with stuff you really don&#8217;t want to see again or won&#8217;t find useful in a category.<\/p>\n<p>3. \u00a0It doesn&#8217;t matter who you follow. \u00a0Follow interesting people you may not even know that are original pinners. \u00a0It will expand your horizons. For some people <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/\" data-blogger-escaped-target=\"_blank\">Pinterest<\/a> is the new twitter&#8230;.but without words&#8230;and with cool pictures&#8230;..because reading is the lazy thing to do now days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-gejJ-8fcJcU\/T56OrPi5RBI\/AAAAAAAABVs\/trQ_lokiOxE\/s1600\/pinterest2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com\/gadgets\/proxy?url=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-gejJ-8fcJcU%2FT56OrPi5RBI%2FAAAAAAAABVs%2FtrQ_lokiOxE%2Fs1600%2Fpinterest2.jpg&amp;container=blogger&amp;gadget=a&amp;rewriteMime=image%2F*\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-gejJ-8fcJcU\/T56OrPi5RBI\/AAAAAAAABVs\/trQ_lokiOxE\/s1600\/pinterest2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pinterest has been an answer to my prayers. \u00a0Of course figuratively it has and not literally. \u00a0I haven&#8217;t been praying nightly for a way to categorize my digital finds. \u00a0But if I had, I would know God hears my prayers and wants me to be happy. \u00a0I&#8217;m sure it was somebody elses prayer He answered [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":200,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-media-frenzie","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spriggy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spriggy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spriggy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spriggy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spriggy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=65"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/spriggy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":66,"href":"https:\/\/spriggy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65\/revisions\/66"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spriggy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spriggy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=65"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spriggy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=65"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spriggy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=65"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
