We know many of you reading the MagMaker blog are curation pros; this post is great for anyone new to the platform who wants a quick way to get started.

Create a Flipboard account to save stories and make magazines. It can help preserve your Flipboard’s set up from device to device and device to platform (it’s also useful for people who share a device). You can sign in to Flipboard on the Web and from your mobile device. To expedite logging in on the Web, use our QR code.

Signing in allows you to follow publications, people and social media sources, ensuring that your personal and private magazine settings are saved.

Here’s how to create a Flipboard account:

  1. Register for Flipboard: On mobile, tap on “Get Started” and you will be asked to choose five or more topics to customize your Flipboard. On the Web, visit Flipboard.com and click on “Sign Up.”
  2. Verify: You will need to submit a valid email address and your name to continue.
  3. All set! Once registration is complete, you will be taken to your profile.

To customize your profile, tap on the gear icon and then on Edit Profile. Here you can change your display name, your username if you didn’t get the one you wanted and there is space to add a description about you. Makes sure to save your settings in the upper right corner before proceeding.
