Bootlegger Buzz Updates! ProvertXIII
We are sure you already noticed the new look of the Buzz, as it is really hard to miss such a wonderful new update! Late into two o'clock in the morning Bootleggers time, BSF2000 notified Nyxxie of a new version of the Buzz as per her requests and Help Desk tickets under "Feature Suggestions."

With long waits for updates to the Buzz (and tons of bothering the Administration on Nyxxie's part), they have now arrived and are waiting to be looked at and used by yourselves! Allow us to introduce to you the new anesthetics of the Buzz. The new color scheme is sure to catch any eye at first glance.

For the Buzz writers purposes, BSF2000 has added the ability for you to rate and reply to any Buzz article you read. The editor has the ability to choose if an article can be rated and replied to. Most are up for replies and ratings. Once you read an article, feel free to click one of the five barrels (1-5, 5 being the best), indicating how much you liked the article. To boot (pun intended), you are allowed to comment on the article by posting in the reply box. You can state why you liked or disliked the article! However, remember that the TOS still applies to each and every one of your replies made. Replies cannot be made anonymously.

Next, if you scroll down the the most bottom part of each Buzz, you will notice two drop down menus. One is the ability to submit an article application for the Buzz, as well as the ability to send in a donation, freelance article and contest entries. That's right! No more need to bootmail Nyxxie for how you can donate to the Buzz, submit an entry or contest entry. Everything will be done via the Buzz interface! Grooooovvvyyy!

The Freelance option allows you to submit a Freelance article. It takes you to a page where you can submit the title and write your freelance article in. Although, we do recommend your write your articles in Microsoft Word as it has a spell checker and does a lot of other things to correct your mistake(s).

Donations is just below this option takes you to a screen where you are able to enter an amount of money and able to send it to the Buzz for competitions.

Third one calls for some luck! It is the Contest Entry where you can enter your competition entry without having to send your entry by e-mail or Bootmail. All contest entries will be forwarded to a sticky thread in the Buzz Forum for easy reading and sorting!

Last but of course, not least, is the application option. This great feature gives you the chance to send your application in of your work. Your application must be an article that has happened lately. We recommend you use Microsoft Word for all article making. To read more on how you can make your article application the best it possibly can be, try reading over the "Your Ticket to the Buzz Forum" article written in issue number 10!

We hope you enjoy all these new updates as we at the Buzz are ecstatic! Feel free to comment your comments by replying below and on the official topic for the Buzz release!
