I keep seeing people mention Pinterest but what exactly is it and how do I start? Can you just sign up for it??

yep! just go to pinterest.com. it's a online "community" of sorts, where you collect little tidbits from around the web... like, crafts you want to try, decor you like, helpful baby-related articles. you pin pictures to different boards, and then you can go back later and track back to the website where you found the information. i'm addicted!

this is my board, so you can get an idea of how it works: http://pinterest.com/janietaylor/.
ps: the main picture is of me and the dude in high school! we look like babies ourselves
eta: when i signed up a while ago you needed an invite, but i think that has since changed. i'm pretty sure you can just sign up now. if not, let me know... i'll send you one!

basically it's an online inspiration board. let me know if you need an invite and i'll send you one. the site is still invitation only.

It is the place where projects go to die. I pin a ton of stuff, but have neither the time nor tools to do 99% of them!

Is there any way to un-link your pinterest account from your real name / facebook account? I signed up, but then I saw that it was under my real name. I don't want everyone to know what I've pinned (esp. baby stuff!).

Can someone send me an invite please? It says that there is a waiting list now. Thanks a million!

@babynumber1: I think it takes 2-3 weeks for them to send out an invite. i'll send you one now!

I love Pinterest. I think the only downside to Pinterest is it can make you feel inadequate. Not always, but sometimes it's like my house will never be as pretty as what I see on there. Or my Christmas decorations aren't "pinterest worthy." Does anyone else feel ever feel like that?

I can send invites too if anyone else wants one! I love Pinterest. Probably too much.

@tana_bk: YES. i love it, and 50% of the time i feel so inspired, but the other 50% of the time i feel ridiculously inadequate. i try not to spend too much time on there, and concentrate on what i can ACTUALLY accomplish.

@enjollah: if you want to email me your email address at my name here at hotmail, I will send you one.

I was wondering the same thing! And, even with the description- I still don't get it. I requested an invite. Hopefully when I get in there I'll figure out how to navigate it.
