Pin It
Ok, I'm slow. I hesitated joining pinterest for the mere fact that so many were talking about getting lost there for hours looking at things. I do too many things on the internet to get lost there....or so I thought.
It wasn't until after I joined that I realized we even have pin it on lenses for easy pinning! I know I had been reading in the squidoo facebook group about others getting more views after pinning things.
I'm amazed at how many are following me each day. I don't even know how they are finding me!
I do need some help with pinterest. I don't need the help with squidoo lenses since the pin it button is already there for us, but I need help with pin it buttons on my blog. Is there a way to have the pin it automatically show up in blog posts, or is there a code that I have to put in to each post? I'm going to experiment with that in this post. I just know I am seeing pin it in blog posts, and I am seeing blog posts being pinned.
What are your habits on pinning? For right now I am trying to pin a lens by someone else for every one of my own that I am pinning. And, so far I've only pinned a few of my own lenses....the first one to experiment....most others just as I have updated the lens. (I'm still working on my squidoo organized notebook) Should I add the Follow me on Pinterest to each of my lenses?
I look forward to any and all input on Pinterest!
Now, onward.....I didn't build any new lenses this week but I did update some:
Question-----would you all like me to make a suggestion each week on lenses to link up? For example: link up your 2 bottom lenses or link up 2 lenses with a rank between this number and that number or link up your newest lenses etc? I can do something like this but you could also still feel free to link up anything. Please give me some input as I really would love to see lots of lenses linked up each week. Am I right in thinking that the linky works as backlinks?
Thanks!!

Good Morning!
We ended up with a bad storm coming in pretty quickly late yesterday afternoon. Bug thunder boomers and lightening and hail up to 2 inches. It shut the electric down. I was scared since last time this computer was turned off, upon trying to turn it back on I got a message that Windows couldn't start due to a missing or corrupt file. It finally did start up and I hadn't turned it off again for weeks. Thank goodness, as you can see, it did come back on. I took all the kids upstairs during the storm so we could watch out the windows and I crocheted until I thought it was past enough to be safe to turn the computer back on.
I got my 4 Weeks To Healthy Digestion Book Review written in gather, and then made into a squidoo lens yesterday. I always put the book reviews in gather first them expand them into lenses. It's neat that way.
It's another busy Saturday. This afternoon is the big Headstart volunteer activity. Jasmine and I did some work during the year, but the whole family gets to go. They are taking us to the Kansas Cosmophere to watch an IMAX movie and then tour the Space Museum. I see photo essays coming to gather and a lens built just about the Cosmosphere in the works. That is if I don't forget to take my camera along like I've been guilty of doing so many times lately.
This evening we will spend with Steve again. I am worried about what the hail did to my garden yesterday. I thought of calling him last night to ask but wasn't sure I wanted to know. Checking it out will be the first thing I do once we get over there.
Have a great Saturday!
Marsha
