Blog Post for 2/5 -Pinterest

So, I have a confession: I. love. Pinterest.  I love it because I can find ideas and information on just about anything.  Every pin is represented by a picture.  The pictures help me identify the articles I want to reread, when I'm browsing through my boards.

I used Pinterest to plan my wedding this past summer, to decorate my house, to fix household problems,  to find recipes, to research about vitamins, to plan for the hair cut where I donated 11 inches of hair, and to hold interesting articles on personal finance, career advice, and parenting / families.

I have learned so much from Pinterest.  I love using my phone to listen to podcasts from NPR and APM.  Pinterest has become another educational outlet for me.  I have 43 topical pin boards with visual collections that link to more visuals, articles, and videos that help me learn.  (Go on Pinterest and search for infographics, if you doubt you can learn from the tool.)

The articles below talk about how tools like Pinterest are changing the ways we do things online.

3. Next, google "Pinterest is changing the way we"  What did you find?  How is Pinterest, a visual tool, changing the ways we do things? 
4. Finally, do you use Pinterest?  What are your thoughts about it?  Has the tool changed anything for you or someone you know?  What about businesses or organizations you like?  Any changes or movement on Pinterest?

And to close…all wonderful things must be put into perspective ;)

Final Version of Visual Resume

I took into account some the peer review results I got from my initial posting, and have edited my visual resume to resemble a better depiction of myself.  I still tried to maintain simplicity by not putting too much information, but did include a little bit more about myself.

Hello all. I created my visual resume using Microsoft Word. I chose Microsoft Word because I wanted to create a resume that was unique and my own. The two fonts that I used on my resume I downloaded from www.dafonts.com (if you are looking for new fonts I highly recommend this website because there were thousands available). I am happy with the content on my virtual resume, but I would like to add some more color and/or decrease the amount of white space. Thoughts?
