This can be helpful if you're using Pinterest to promote your business, or if you're trying to compare the cost of different products.

To rearrange your pinboards:
Anytime you create a new pinboard, it will automatically appear as the newest pinboard on your profile page. Once you've created several pinboards, you may want to organize and rearrange them. To rearrange your pinboards, navigate to your profile page, then click and drag a pinboard to its desired location.
To set a pinboard cover:
By default, the newest pin on any pinboard will become the board cover, the large image that appears at the top of each pinboard. If you prefer, you can choose to change a board's cover, which will set a permanent cover image until you decide to change it.
- While viewing your profile page, hover the mouse over a pinboard, then select Edit Board Cover.
Editing a pinboard's cover - The Board Cover dialog box will appear. Click the arrows to preview different pins from the pinboard.
- Click Set Cover when you're satisfied with the cover image.
Choosing a pinboard cover - The new pinboard cover will appear.
