You can do so by tapping the Pinterest app (mobile), or by going to https://www.pinterest.com/.  If you haven't created a Pinterest account yet, you'll need to create an account before continuing. You may need to sign into Pinterest by entering your email address and password when prompted (on desktop, click Sign In in the top-right corner of the page). This is where all of your favorited topics will appear, as well as followed boards and users.  You can get back to the Home page at any time by clicking or tapping the Pinterest logo. It's in the top-left corner of the screen for Android and desktop users, and the bottom-left corner for iPhone users. Android users won't see the Home page button when in another menu (e.g., the profile page); instead, you'll have to tap the "Back" button in the top-left corner of the screen to return to the Home page. You'll do so by clicking or tapping the person-shaped icon that's in either the bottom-right corner of the screen (iPhone) or the top-right side of the page (Android and desktop). You can view your personal boards--and their accompanying pins--here. You'll also be able to change your settings by tapping or clicking the hexagonal "Settings" icon near the top of the page. To do so, tap or click the speech bubble icon that's in either the bottom-right area of the screen (iPhone) or the top-right section of the page (Android and desktop). This is where you'll see messages alerting you to new posts from people you're following, new followers, and your friends' activity. You can also select the Inbox tab at the top of the Notifications page to view private conversations and send your own. You'll use the search bar to do this; the search function is accessible by tapping the magnifying glass icon (iPhone and Android), or by simply clicking the bar with "Search" written in it at the top of the page on desktop. As you type, you should see search suggestions related to your typing appear below the search bar.  You can select a search suggestion to search Pinterest for that suggestion exactly. You can also press your device's "Enter" button to search for your search term verbatim. Clicking Explore to the right of the search bar will open a page with currently trending topics, rising and new topics, content suggestions tailored for your preferences, and more. This will take you to your profile page, where you can get started by creating your first board.
Open Pinterest. Review the Pinterest Home page. Open your profile page. Check your Pinterest notifications. Search Pinterest for people, topics, or ideas. Use Pinterest's "Explore" feature (desktop only). Select the profile tab.
