Changes have arrived to PinIt! Here’s what you need to know

Share all of the best sights from all over Central Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. – News 6 wants to see what is happening in your life and share it with all of Central Florida.

Many of you have already been sharing photos and videos with us through PinIt!

[VIDEO: Insider Guide Crystal Moyer explains how to use PinIt!]

In an effort to make the PinIt! experience even better and easier for all of you, we have made some changes.

The next time, or possibly the first time, you go to upload a picture or video, you’ll see a new set of channels and categories.

Here’s a look at all the channels and what you can post there:

Sports: It’s pretty self-explanatory, but let’s break it down. We want to see you and your family enjoying all kinds of sports — everything from Little League to the Super Bowl. Did you just finish your first marathon? Post a picture of you and your medal. Did your child make it to the championship game? Be sure to PinIt! A weekly pickup game with your friends? Yup, pin that too.

The Championship game started disastrously with our Captain, Javi Rodriguez breaking his thumb 2 minutes in! The Pittsburgh Steelwheelers got a good lead on us but we cut it to 4 by 1/2 time. Still down by 4 going into the 4th quarter. That's when our defense really clamped down on them. Both teams pressed for the final 10 minutes but we held them to 4 points for the whole period. In the end, the Orlando Magic Wheels are coming home with the National Championship with a 41-36 victory! Our 1st in over 20 years of competing.

Florida Foodie: It’s already a podcast and newsletter, but now there is a Florida Foodie pins channel. Now is your chance to be that person who can’t eat without taking a picture of your meal. Share pictures from your date night, your favorite lunch spot or even your favorite recipe.

Outdoor Life: Are you a fan of fishing and boating or do you just enjoy hitting the beach? Share your favorite spots for outdoor recreation right here.

Space: We are lucky to have NASA right in our backyard. We get to witness rocket launches on a regular basis and they always make for spectacular photos and videos. We also want to see all of your skygazing photos. Great shots of the moon or a beautiful sunset. It all belongs here.
