Just looking for Triond friends to add to my Bukisa friends.
Bukisa has the potential of being a great writing site for all of us online writers. I really want to well on this site and see this site do well too. That being the case here are a few of my wishes for Bukisa.
I wish the site was easier to navigate.
At first glance Bukisa looks as though it would be quite easy to navigate but it isn’t at least not for me. Many times I have tried to look up other writers to add as friends on my friends list only to get a message that they can’t be found.
This is frustrating because I enjoy reading other writers work almost as much as I enjoy writing. So being able to find other writers who work I admire is important to me.
I wish I could figure out how to upload pictures from my own files.
While I have no trouble doing this on most of the other websites I write for, this procedure seems beyond me on this particular site. Either they want a link to a website or I can’t find a place to add a picture at all.
I wish they would post comments to my articles before notifying that I have a comment.
I keep getting notices that I have a new comment on articles but when I go to the article, it says there are no comments yet. Occasionally if I go to the comment page, the comment will be there but most of the time it does not appear until hours later.
I wish that my content got published faster.
Sometimes I have to wait days for my content to get published on Bukisa. Sometimes, I get comments long before I receive notice my content has been published, and sometimes, I never receive notice I have been published at all. This all makes it very difficult to track my articles.
While I like writing for Bukisa, a few improvements would make the experience much more enjoyable and would help me to establish myself on this site.

I’m afraid I am using Bukisa only to get additional links onto my Triond articles …

I don’t write for Bukisa. I just like staying informed about other writing sites so I can compare them to Triond.

I have tried for 3 days to log on and can’t. I wanted to keep up with reading others posts and cannot. TX for expressing your points.

Bukisa is good but just as good as Triond or other writing sites. I didn’t find anything special there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Bukisa I feel could be a great site if writers can find other loyal fans. Then Bukisa will be great in my opinion.

I think I will just stick with Triond. Thanks for keeping us up to date and well informed on these other sites. Your information on Redgage and She Told Me were very helpful to me.

I don’t write for Bukisa, I think I’d rather concentrate my efforts on Triond, since I don’t like to publish the same articles from one site to another, and since Triond is so good, it wouldn’t make sense for me to write for Bukisa a totally new article. Thanks for the info on the technical difficulties, is good to know.

I’ve also been unable to log in for days. It’s very frustrating…

I have not found a way to upload my own pictures there either.

I think I will just stick with Triond as well. I don’t like the types of problems you’ve mentioned here. No site should be this impossible to navigate.. Thanks for the heads up. Great article.

I’m looking for a place that has slightly more stringent editing standards, creating a better average quality of work which in turn will create a better overall reputation and more views.
I’ll go check out Bukisa, and any other such site, in the efforts to find the best possible home for my ‘A’ material (or ‘B’ material… whatever level my best work happens to be
)

To finish that last comment (I clicked ’submit content’ by accident I guess)
But… thanks for giving more detail about the site.
