So I just set up an account & when I am logged in everything appears on the left side of the screen, like this (no matter what I click on it's all over on the left side):

But when I am logged out it looks like this:

How do I make it look like the 2nd pic, but while being logged in?!  I am confused :/

It will look like the second screen when pinterest decides to work... Totally stinks it decided to take a break on they day you joined. 

I'm so adding you as soon as it will let me =P 

Thanks...ok, I was like WTF is going on LOL!!

I think it's because you aren't following any pinboards/people, so it has nothing to show you.  If you click on "Everything" (even when logged on) you should see a ton of pins.

Hope that helps

I think Dish is right! You have to follow some people in order to have things show up. But...Jen could be right, as well. Sometimes it just takes breaks and decides not to work :-/ I don't think the site was prepared for it to explode the way it did!

I guess it is messing up

yes, it's fine now.  And apparently I am following everyone that is on there that's a FB friend?!?!  It automatically did that.

Yeah, it'll follow your FB friends. I liked that, but you can always unfollow if you choose. Just go to their pages and click on "Unfollow All."

The way I see it, the more people I follow, the more cute ideas I get!
