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:

• 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:

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.
  

12: INTERESTING PEOPLE:

• This gives you an idea of the high performing members on your follower's list.
