Hello Friends,
If you have been following my Opensource Tutorial Series, then you would have learnt alot about Opensource projects. Last time I talked about HOW TO USE D-TUBE. Today let's show you the details of using a popular alternative interface of Steemit called Busy.Org. See Details about it here.

WELCOME TO YOUR "BUSY" HOME:
THE DISCUSSION IS DIVIDED ACCORDING TO THE NUMBERS ON THE PICTURE FOR EASY ASSIMILATION
1- WEBSITE LINK + SECURITY PAD:

G- WALLET
This displays the contents of your steem wallet, your transactions, memo etc. See image below:
The image is already self-explanatory, but let me just make a few points
I- ACCOUNT SUMMARY:
Here you can see the balances of your currencies including STEEM, STEEM POWER & SBD. You can also do transactions to put money into your SAVINGS.II- MEMO:
This shows you your last transactions and the memos attached to them. Your transactions could be "received" or "transferred"III- TRANSFER:
Click this when you have a transaction you want to do. It brings out the very easy dialogue box below:
Fill in the appropriate details and send. You will be requested to send in your active key via STEEMCONNECT.IV- CHARTS
I personally love this feature. With this you can appreciate the currency changes for Steem and SBD.V- CLAIM REWARDS:
You only get a button to click when you have pending rewards yet to be claimed. When you click it, the rewards then reflect in your balances
H- ACTIVITY LOGS
- This feature is unique to busy.org.
- With activity logs, you can visualize the state of affairs in your account in as single place. SEE IMAGE.
- You can also filter the logs based on your desired preferences as shown in the "RED box".
4, 5, 6, 7 DON'T NEED EXPLANATION. Most have been explained before.
8- WRITE BLOG POST:
- Once you click the "write" icon, it takes you to the panel for writing your blog posts. SEE BELOW.
- Its pretty self-explanatory and easy. The only thing I may want to explain is on the use of #TAGS.
- The space for 'TOPICS" is actually for tags. Enter your tags in small letters and use space bar to separate them
- Remember to use the "busy" tag. The curate and upvote aanyone who uses their site.
9, 10, 11: These are self explanatory. Click 9 for profile and 10 for "OPTIONS"
- The options include; Activity Log, Bookmarks, Drafts, Settings and Logoutetc.
- Busy is pretty cool in that you can save your drafts and return to them later and you can bookmark another person's post or comment.
- SETTINGS is easy to understand once you go there. Essentially for VP changes and NSFW.
12: INTERESTING PEOPLE:
- This gives you an idea of the high performing members on your follower's list.
