Pinterest seems to have set people’s board covers automatically so if you haven’t set your own board covers, Pinterest will have set the board cover to the first pin ever pinned on that board.

You should check your boards page and have a look at the dominant image. Consider the following points and perhaps you need to alter it.

• Is it a good representation of that board?
• If it is a very full board with lots of images, having the first pin as the board cover may mean it looks outdated.
• The board cover only shows part of the image (you can pull it up or down when selecting the board cover so the optimal part is displayed) so perhaps the pin isn’t shown to its best advantage.
• Is it a colourful, vibrant image? Would it encourage others to follow that board? If not, change it.

Check out our post ‘How and Why – Setting Your Pinterest Board Covers‘ too if you’d like to find out how to select the board covers quickly and easily.
