26 Sep 12 How to Create a Storify Slideshow from a Pinterest RSS Feed

It’s very easy to create an embeddable slideshow sourced from a Pinterest RSS feed.  This might be a feed of all your Pinterest pins, or pins from a particular board.  To complete this (very) simple tutorial, you’ll need a Pinterest account and a Storify account.

1. You need the URL of your Pinterest RSS feed.  Pinterest doesn’t seem to publish links to RSS feeds but they are there.
   Main Pinterest feed: http://pinterest.com/userid/feed.rss
   For a Pinterest board: http://pinterest.com/userid/boardname.rss
2. Login to Storify and click ‘create story’.
3. Make sure that RSS has been added to media sources.  Click the + to edit media sources
   
4. Now add a title and description and you have created a dynamic Storify story which will update as you post new pins to Pinterest
5. Enter your Pinterest RSS feed URL in the URL field
6. Press Enter; a list of RSS items will appear.  Drag and drop the best ones or add them all
   
   
7. Add a title and description, click ‘Save Now‘ and ‘Publish‘ and you have created your first Storify story.  You also have the option to add text and reorder items; just drag and drop.
8. To create a slideshow, go back to your profile and open your story.
9. Click the ‘Embed‘ button, set template to ‘slideshow’ then copy the code.
   
   Paste the code into your blog in html view; enjoy!
