The departments, which will operate on a leased basis, will average approximately 1,500 square feet (with some smaller and some larger). They will be open for a period of about three months — roughly from Oct. 15 to Jan. 15, 2013.

Ask any dedicated online shopper about the tools in his or her digital arsenal and you'll hear about Pinterest. You may also hear complaints about how difficult it is to shop on the site. Unless an image has been pinned directly from a retailer's site, useful hyperlinks and information (e.g., product name) in the description are rare.

Telepathy or Nancy Drew-level skills are required to find pinned items.
