One of the best social networks to share a large number of images and varied interests is Pinterest. From this social network we can share a large number of images whenever we want. But for that, the first thing we have to be clear about is how to create a Pin for Pinterest from a PC or mobile device ..
Create a pin for Pinterest from a computer
The first thing we are going to have to do is go to the Pinterest website from the web browser and log in with the account. After this we will have to click in the upper right corner, on our username, to be able to go to the profile page.
In the lower right corner of the screen, we will find an icon in the shape of a "+" we will have to click on that icon..
When we do, a new menu will be displayed and we will select the option "Create PIN" or "PIN".
To load an image from the computer, we will have to select the first tab that says " Create Pin " and then we will have to click on the box that is on the left side that has an icon with the shape of an arrow pointing upwards..
When we click on this icon, a window will open from where we will be able to locate the file we want to upload. Once we find it, we will have to select it and then click where it says "Open".
In order to name our Pin, we will have to click on "Add title" and write what comes to mind.
A little further down we have the description box. Here we can add a short description of the PIN, URL and tags.
Once we have everything configured, the only thing left to do is click on "Save" in the upper right corner, it is a red button and it will ask us to choose a board for the new Pin.
Under the heading "Create board" we will have to select the board where we want to save the Pin. Alternatively we can select "Create board" in case we want to create a new one for this Pin.
