Have you heard of Pinterest? It’s like one-stop shopping for beautiful inspiration pictures. It’s free to register, and once you’re signed up, the internet is your oyster. You create boards on your Pinterest page, and as you surf the Net and find images of beautiful things, you can quickly and easily save them to one of your Pinterest boards. The cool thing is that the link to the image is saved with with image, so it’s easy to go back to the web page it came from, which is super-handy for giving proper credit for the picture.

It’s really easy to use. You install a little Pin It widget onto your browser’s toolbar, and any time you see a picture you want to save to one of your Pinterest boards, just click the Pin It button. All the images on the web page that you’re on appear on the screen. Click Pin This on the image you want to save, write a short description of the image, click Pin It, and there you go! You can also repin images that you like from other boards onto your board.
Here are some of my Pinterest pictures…

I LOVE Pinterest! It's so great for when you are surfing the net and you see an inspiring picture - you just pin i! And for bloggers, I think it is a truly amazing resource because you don't need to go back and try and find the reference for a photo you saw way back when - it's all saved for you!
