How to make a slideshow with Pinterest with Storify under 2 minutes*
Tutorial 2.0, now 100 percent faster. * The RSS caps at 10. Tutorial for more than 10 pins follows below (takes a bit longer).
- I've written about how to make a slideshow using pins from Pinterest. For kicks, I pinned some of my Instagram photos and made a quick slideshow about it.
The Kingston Daily Freeman Blogs: Life, I wrote.: How to make a slideshow with Pinterest and Instagram images with StorifyThis is something I've been asked here and there, and I've been tinkering and I think I've found a solution. Ideally, Pinterest would/cou...- Obviously, I like to be dramatic about such things:
How to make a slideshow with @Pinterest and @Instagram images using @Storify bit.ly/Kkwewf cc @elanazak @stevebuttry- This is from that tutorial on the reasons why I did this:
Storify has an Instagram function, but it doesn't allow you (yet? guys?) to search for users. And you can't do slideshows with Instagram, so this doubles up as a tutorial for making a slideshow for your Instagrams.
NOTE: The links go to Pinterest, you'll have to click again to go to the link where the pin came from. But, regardless, if you want to change the order and make a slideshow of your pins, this is what I would do, until the Pinterest and Storify and Instagram guys figure it out. - Here's one that Storify itself has been promoting. Pretty nifty.

How to: Create An Instagram Slideshow About Your Hometown in MinutesInspired by a Social Media Week contest, I decided to build an Instagram story about San Francisco. I used my photos and other people's p...- (And here's another one to pin things from Storify.)
Pinterest fans, here's how to pin any photo - or any tweet! - you see on StorifyDid you know you can pin any photo in any Storify story to your Pinterest boards? You can - and you can pin any tweet, too, in a great lo...- All this made me think of using ifttt:
- These are great ways to quickly create posts. If This Then That, http://ifttt.com, is a service that lets you put a conditional on a task (THIS) which THEN makes another task on another platform (THAT). Posibilities are endless.This got me thinking. Couldn't I do the same with Pinterest? After a search, I found that there were some recipes feeding the Pinterest RSS feed into emails and such. So I thought, Pinterest to Storypad!
But then I thought, why bother with ifttt if you can directly do this in Storify? - I also wanted to create a Storify HowTo within Storify, which I didn't do because I wanted to add the actual slideshow with the post.
@ivanlajara Great post on Pinterest/Storify/Instagram -- it would be more meta if the whole post was Storified :)- After some people used it, it was noted that using the bookmarklet to pin individual posts was a bit cumbersome.
@ivanlajara I'm having a bit of hard time using the bookmarklet to get the images into Storify. It's kind of a pain to do it individually.- Thus the following tuturial. No bookmarklet needed.
HOW TO MAKE A QUICK SLIDESHOW WITH PINTEREST USING STORIFY (For 10 images or less)
- 1. Grab a Pinterest RSS feed. Here's the formula:
For a user feed: pinterest.com/username/feed.rss
For a board Feed: pinterest.com/username/board/rss - 2. On your Storypad in Storify, add the RSS feed to the RSS tab. Each pin will appear like this.
- Note that your pins appear as small RSS icons and not images. HERE'S THE EPIC PART.
