Phantomjs ( http://phantomjs.org/ ) is a nice headless webkit browser that can be used to generate screenshots of entire pages (or clipped portions). It's got a nice API and a reasonably straightforward install. I've also heard good things about ghost.py ( http://jeanphix.me/Ghost.py/ ). These might be handy if you can't find a good image.

You can make money on Pinterest as well: http://www.dailydot.com/news/pinterest-steve-amazon-spammer-... . I couldn't get Amazon referral links to work at first, but if you use amzn.to, your referral is preserved. :) (I'm not saying you should spam the site, but it is possible to get credit for referring people from your pins.)
The guy in that article you cited turned out to be a liar. See the follow-up: http://www.dailydot.com/news/pinterest-scammer-hoax-controve...
I'm getting into Pinterest, trying to figure out what the sharing, socializing, and marketing opportunities are over there. Some of those members have millions of followers. Amazing. It's like having your own private newspaper. But heck if I want to spend my time creating yet more content for some other third-party to make money on. So I can kind of see what they're getting at here. What I decided to do was create a…
I can't find it if there is one, but it'd be great to have an example site.
There is none and I don't plan on creating one. I understand why you want one but I don't want to bother with hosting a dynamic website that I would have to manage. (Rather spend the time improving the app itself.) I include a screenshot and an example is wookmark or pinterest's websites. It functions like those. If you want a demo of this exact app then clone it and run it. It's free and open source!
"Because I don't like sharing." I think you missed the point of Pinterest. This is to Pinterest what iPhoto is to Facebook. But I'll be honest, I was first interested in Pinterest because I thought it would be a lovely bookmark aggregator. This does that pretty well from the look of it, but it's definitely a self-hosted image bookmarker with a Pinterest-esque interface, rather than a self-hosted curated web. Might be…

Love pinboard. Has suited me very well for my bookmarking needs.
And the best part about it being paid only is that I get some assurance that my bookmarks there will stay available.
Side note, these github templates look beautiful.

I came here to comment just this. I downloaded it for fun and was stoked to see manage.py! Interesting indeed to explore others' conventions. I particularly like settings as a module. One thing I tend to avoid, however (of course this is just my personal taste) is templates in each sub-app. I feel like at that point there are just too many nested directories. I'd rather have one global templates dir for the entire pr…
I often-times argue with myself over this. I do agree that one global template dir is nice but it makes the apps less copy-and-paste-able and I feel like Django apps were meant to be somewhat self-contained. However, sometimes you have so many cross-links between apps in Django projects that taking out a single app to use in another project basically breaks most of the functionality. There are big pros and cons for d…
