The Busy Life of a Single Mom

If you’ve read the first two tutorials in this series, you have joined Buzzfuse and you know how to put the widget at the bottom of your posts so that your posts can receive votes. You are putting this widget in hopes that other Buzzfuse members will read your posts and kindly vote for you. The fair thing to do to be a part of the community is to also vote yourself for posts that have been submitted. While the title of this tutorial is “Promoting Your Friends’ Blogs,” please note that by friends I don’t necessarily mean those that you already know, but also those that you will get to know by being an active member at Buzzfuse.

1. When you login to Buzzfuse, you’ll see a screen such as the one below:

2. Click on one title of the post that interests you (I’m going to read the first one) and the actual blog post will be displayed in a pop up screen for you to read.

3. At the bottom of the post, you’ll see the Buzzfuse widget. Click on that widget.

4. You will now see a screen such as the one below where you can rate the post you just read.
–On this screen, you can rate the post with 1 - 10 stars.
–You can also click “add recomendation” if you liked it and would recommend that others read it.
–Finally if you would like to be notified via email every time this person submits a new post, you can click “add me as fan.”
-For this post, you’ll see that I gave it 10 stars and I’ve added it to my recommendations
-Notice you also have a place that you can add comments if you like.

Congratulations. If you have followed these directions, you have now ranked your first Buzzfuse post. Remember we are a community and you should check back, read a variety of posts and rank your new Buzzfuse friends.
