Wednesday Words: Pinner

We return to Pinterest terms this week with the term "Pinner." A pinner is a person who pins images to their boards - whether it be their personal boards, business boards or shared boards.

Anyone can be a pinner - including you dear reader. Pinners help spread links of useful blog posts, inspirational images and more by pinning them. Pinterest is also a great way to bookmark things you want to come back to - you should see my home organization board and favorite recipes.

Not a part of Pinterest yet? It's free to join and easy (and addictive) to use. Check it out here: http://www.pinterest.com
