Step 1: Make sure you’re logged into your Bukisa page.  Go to your “Profile Page” (http://www.bukisa.com/myhome/account/profile)

Step 2: Once inside your profile page, scroll down, and click “Update Photo”

Step 3: Click “Browse”

Step 4: After you clicked “Browse,” a “File Upload” Box will pop up on the screen.  Select the file from your hard drive that you wish to upload, and click “Open”.

Step 5: Once you clicked “Open”, the previous page will show up with the image file selected.  Click “Upload”.

Step 6: Wait about 10-15 seconds (note: image upload can take longer if your uploading a giant image file) for the image to appear on your screen.  Now, center the Cropping Box around your face or the image you want to upload.  You can also adjust the size of the image cropped.  Once you’ve properly cropped your image, click “Crop (click me)” at the bottom of the screen.

Step 7: Once you clicked “Crop (click me)”, the page will take about 10 seconds for the picture to save.  Once the image has uploaded, click “Save”.

Step 8: Congratulations!  You have now successfully added your Bukisa Profile Picture!  Your “My Bukisa Profile” will now look like this (minus having your picture in it besides mine!!  ) )

New Invite Banners
We now offer a choice of five flashy banners that you can use to invite all your friends and family to your Bukisa site, in order to grow your network of Bukisa publishers.

Network & Friends Notifications
Want to see what’s happening in your network and with your Bukisa friends? Now you can see who signed up for your network, listed you as a friend, see the new content that was created within your network and see who your Bukisa fans are.

New Stat Displays
We have created awesome graphs that allow you to see how many total views you received each and every day! This latest feature allows you to see which sites referred viewers to your content, as well as the top keywords that led them to your content.

Twitter Widget
Have Twitter? Well, we have created a badge to user profile pages for users who have added their twitter info with us. This will help you all gain more followers and also drive you greater exposure and a larger reader audience when your content is published, as it will automatically publish on Twitter. Please be sure to list your Twitter info with us and make sure to get our new Bukisa Twitter Widget!!! http://www.bukisa.com/myhome/account

Manual Invite Feature
We’ve now added a feature for you to add your friends manually for those that can’t use our automatic email importer.

Comments Tab
We created a new tab where you can see all the comments that you received. You can also view the comments that you left.

Important Notice

We are starting to review our content more strictly. Content that is not up to par, against our TOS, inappropriate, badly edited and written in poor grammar will be rejected. Sloppy and quick work that looks unprofessional gives a poor look to Bukisa and you can help us by sending us a comment if you read content that is of poor quality or inappropriate for our site.

We will also be rejecting articles with Author Biographies, written in caps, bold, having links in titles, self-advertisement, and without paragraphs and good format. Articles that look like self-advertisement will, likewise, be rejected. We will only be publishing quality and well-written work.

If you haven’t yet joined, do so now! Many exciting things are coming up on Bukisa over the next few months – make sure you don’t miss out on the fun.

Don’t forget we are also on Twitter – if you have any small issues, go ahead and send us a tweet and we’ll try to get back to you as quickly as possible.

Let us know what you like about Abukia and what you’d like to see added to the site.

Join us on Facebook and Twitter today!

Thanks!

I would like to point out the Bukisa is not an article directory and thus any information about the author and their business should only be placed on their profile page – that is why we have the large section on the left hand side so its easy for a visitor to learn more about the person writing, by clicking through to their profile page.

Also using your articles to advertise your business isn’t something that we condone. As we are a rev-share site we expect our content to be “clean” of sales pitches and advertising.

Again, feel free to use your profile pages as a gateway for yourselves.

This is a heads up as we don’t want to start removing sections from people’s articles.

Thanks for your understanding,

Simon
