Here are 5 helpful tutorials I've found to help you tweak your Pinterest networking.
I've created my own business and personal boards on Pinterest and I love seeing how other people get uber-creative when a new (free) service like this is introduced.
This is an especially fabulous venue for artists, designers and photographers because the pictures people repin link back to your website or blog. For example, one of my pins links back to Renie Britenbucher's original art page on Etsy
Happy Pinteresting!

Although Microsoft Word was originally created as a word processing program, many people began using it as a design tool for flyers, advertisements, announcements, posters and more. And while Word doesn't have the same features and capabilities as Microsoft's desktop design Publisher program, you can still create a very attractive flyer or document, if you know a few tricks.
For example: When you insert a graphic into your Word flyer, does the text end up at the bottom, leaving a bunch of white space to the side of your picture? My Word flyer tutorial will teach you how to wrap your text around the graphic.
The tutorial will also teach you how to: (1) Set up the Quick Access Toolbar (Word 2007-2010); (2) Make a border around your page; (3) Embed your fonts (essential for making PDFs or emailing your flyer); (4) Insert, resize, rotate, move and crop your graphics; (5) Change graphic colors, make borders for graphics, wrap text around graphics and rotate or flip your pictures - and a whole lot more.

Microsoft Word 2010 includes a few new bells and whistles over the older 2007 and 2003 versions, and I have added the new how-to's to my Squidoo lens on designing attractive flyers with Word.
Here's how to use flyer templates to make your design work easier:
WORD 2010:
Click on the File Tab
Click on New
Click on Flyers (you'll have a huge array of options in addition to flyers, including gift certificates, greeting cards, resumes, etc.)
Search through the 9 files for a design you like and double-click to download it.
Replace the text with your own and SAVE AS a new title in a file folder in the documents section of your computer (or desktop).
In Word 2010, you can also add a theme to your flyer.
Click on the Page Layout tab
Click on Themes
You can automatically change font types and colors for your entire document. Experiment with Themes to see which ones you like.
For more details on creating attractive flyers with Microsoft Word 2010 (and 2003 and 2007), I've created a new tutorial for Kindle and PDF called "Tutorial Lady's Guide to Designing Attractive Flyers with Word 2003, 2007 & 2010."
Please visit this link at Amazon.com for more info and to purchase the Kindle version of the tutorial. It's loaded with how-to instructions for only $1.99.

Here's an example from the tutorial:
Quickie tutorial for one of the most common spelling mistakes: knowing when to use “your” versus “you’re” --
Your is the second person singular adjective that relates to something “you” possess:
Your clothes
Your car
Your outlook on life
You’re is a contraction for “you are.”
You’re going to be impressed.
You’re on the right road.
You’re going to love this post.
You can see the tutorial online here also... it contains everything you need, but it's not nearly as portable as the PDF and Kindle versions.
