Although all of blogger Liz Wright’s ten tips seem beneficial, it is number five that really seems to stand out to me.

#5 Pinterest is the hot new frontier for bloggers.

In a world where a new social media forum seems to spring up on a weekly basis, it can be easy to get overwhelmed and lost. (Just how connected, is too connected? ) But amongst the sea of new applications and websites , there stands one new website that every blogger should really take the time to investigate: http://pinterest.com/

It’s kind of Facebook, meets Instagram, meets Stumbleupon, meets giant scrapbook that you can share with the world. But most importantly, it’s a great way to get your blog noticed. Posting relevant links to your blog on themed boards allows you to narrow down who might come across it and most importantly, target people you think might be interested. If your blog is about home decor then a board centered on DIY home furniture might be a great place to advertise yourself and pull in readers!
