Inspiration Board

A knottie on my club board mentioned polyvore.com to create an inspiration board. I've never made one before and thought it might be a neat idea.

It was fun searching for wedding items in my colors. I was kind of impressed with how many pictures they offer and how you can search for something and then filter it by color. Pretty neat.
However, it was a real PITA getting it to post on here. I couldn't figure out how to save it as a picture. There was some link on the website saying Post to Your Blog and figured, "hey I have a blog thats where I'm supposed to click." Apparently not. I just got a huge paragraph of HTML text that I had no idea what to do with.
So if anyone else out there creates one of these using polyvore.com and is as HTML challenged as I am, I managed to figure out what I did. And I thought it would be nice to share.

1. Create an account.
2. Click on Create at the top.
3. Type a word into search or click on one of the categories and look through the pictures. Click on the four color block at the right to chose a specific color to filter by.
4. Click and drag the item to the blank space. You can resize it from there. Options also pop up to remove it, flip it or flop it.
5. When you've added everything you want, click on Save Draft. Then click on Publish. Enter a title and select a category.
6. Click on My Home. Click on the smiley face icon by your name. Below it will show the sets you have created. Right click and select Save Picture As.
7. Then you can upload it to blogs, websites, etc.

Happy Inspiration Board making. I think I'm going to end up making a few of them just for the heck of it. Or maybe creating them for people. That'd be kind of fun. Then again, it could be considered "being a vendor" on theknot and kick me off, so maybe not. :)
