There are so many social networking sites out there now. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn are the ones I am most familiar with.
At least until Facebook changes its format again….
Facebook is where I make sure my family and friends can catch up on my family’s latest doings and pictures.
Twitter is where I rant to and with people I have never met.
LinkedIn is where I pretend to be a grown up.
Have you heard of Pinterest? Pinterest is a newcomer on the social media scene, but it is causing quite a stir.
Pinterest?
It confuses me. I’m not really sure what I am supposed to be doing.
Luckily I was given the opportunity to review (and give away!) a copy of Kelby Carr’s new book – Pinterest For Dummies.
And goodness knows I need all the help I can get.
Pinterest For Dummies, will help new users get started creating their Pinterest boards, finding people to follow, and pinning bookmarks. The book will cover:
• What Pinterest is about and why you should use it
• Getting your account set up
• Setting up boards and getting organized
• Pinning, repinning and giving credit where credit is due
• Using hashtags, liking pins, commenting, finding people to follow, checking out Tastemakers, sharing pins with your other social networks, and using search
This book, like all For Dummies books, is written in a logical, easy to follow format. Each step, from requesting a Pinterest invite, registering, setting privacy settings, to the highlight of Pinterest….PINNING!
(Want an invite? Hit me up, I have a few left.)
(I also have a Handy Dandy Pinterest button up….you can follow me!)
Hey y’all! I’m pinning!!
Pinterest For Dummies quickly and concisely answered every question I had about Pinterest. It explained what, how and why.
No, I’m not going to tell you! Buy the book!
Or you could win one right here.

Ok, these recipes are ones that I have made up on the fly. They are the ones that seemed to go over well with the family and I want to try to remember how I made them. I am sure that they are similar to someone else’s recipe, probably your great-aunt twice removed on your dads side.
I don’t claim to own the recipe, I just want a way to keep track of what my family likes.
Maybe you will like them too!
Bacon Ranch Chicken Salad
1/2 store bought rotisserie chicken – shredded (save other 1/2 for dinner tomorrow)
1 C sour cream
1 red pepper, diced
2 tbs Franks Wing Sauce
1 pkg dry ranch dip mix
4 slices bacon – cooked crisp, chopped
1 C shredded cheddar cheese
Mix sour cream, ranch mix and wing sauce in a large bowl until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and mix. We served this with warm tortillas for the family, and wrapped up in a lettuce leaf for me. I could also see it working very well on bread or even mixed with cold cooked pasta for a quick salad.
