So this week's task was to familiarise ourselves with Pinterest. I signed up for an account and started looking around. It would be very easy to spend hours looking at boards and pinning items as you drill down through layers and get lured off in other directions. I can see the appeal of the site and how it would be useful for libraries. I'm not sure how much I will be using it in my personal life, but maybe as I become more comfortable with it, it will grow on me.
Signing up for an account was no problem. I had a bit of trouble with the Pin It button though. I'm not sure whether I was expecting it to do something it doesn't, or whether it doesn't work with my browser (IE11), but I couldn't do the drag and drop or the install. When I tried right clicking on the image and selecting "Add to Favourites" that seemed to do something. I still don't have the nice little Pinterest icon though. :(

Internet Explorer has been known to cause a few problems! I find Chrome works better on the GNB network.
I heard from a couple of people who had the same problem. If you do have Chrome on your computer it did seem to work better (but we don't all have Chrome).
Okay. Thanks! I have Chrome on my work computer, but not at home. I can always download it though.
