Repins and likes

While it's easy to pin images and videos from other pages across the Web, the option to repin is what truly makes Pinterest so simple and fun to use. Any time you find a pin from another Pinterest user that you'd like to save for yourself, you can easily repin it to one of your own pinboards. You can also choose to like a pin to save it.

To repin a pin:

1. When you find something you might like to repin, hover the mouse over the pin, then click the Repin button .
   Clicking the Repin button
   
2. The Repin dialog box will appear. Select the pinboard for the pin from the drop-down list and type a description. When you're ready, click Pin It.

You can also comment on pins and mention pins to other Pinterest users. Just click on a pin, and you will be taken to a screen with a comment box to type in. To mention a pin to other users, type the @ symbol followed by their names into the comment, for example @Luke Mendoza.
