Final answer:

To pin something to Pinterest from a website, be sure you are logged into Pinterest, use the 'Save' button on the site, the Pinterest browser extension, or manually add a pin via your Pinterest profile.

Step-by-step explanation:

To pin something to Pinterest from a website, first, you need to make sure you are logged into your Pinterest account. Then, when you find an image or content you want to save, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the website and hover over the image or content you wish to pin.
  2. Click the Pinterest 'Save' button if the site has one - it's often a red button with the Pinterest 'P' on it.
  3. If there is no Pinterest button, you can use the Pinterest browser extension by clicking the Pinterest icon in your browser's toolbar, which allows you to select the image on the page you want to pin.
  4. Once you click this, a new window will appear displaying the images available for pinning. Select the image you want to pin.
  5. Choose the board you want to save it to or create a new one, then click 'Save'. You can also add a description if you wish.

If you don't have the browser extension installed, you can also manually add a pin by copying the URL of the website, going to your Pinterest profile, clicking the '+' button, and selecting 'Create Pin'. Paste the URL into the appropriate field and follow the prompts.

Remember to pin content responsibly by ensuring it is something you have the right to share, and always provide proper credit to the original source whenever possible.
