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.

THE DISCUSSION IS DIVIDED ACCORDING TO THE NUMBERS ON THE PICTURE FOR EASY ASSIMILATION

1- WEBSITE LINK + SECURITY PAD:

If you are keen about websites, you quickly notice that important standard websites have the green security padlock icon

2- BUSY LOGO:

Clicking on it takes you to your feeds/homepage/discussions

3- MY PROFILE:

This takes you to your profile as follows.

A- YOUR PROFILE PROPER:

Here you can see your profile image, your cover image, your bio, date of joining, website url and Voting Power

Here are the articles you have posted on Busy.org

F- FOLLOWINGS

These are people you follow to get feeds from their blogs
It's very similar to "E" above

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.
