When you are on signed in to Triberr, at the top will be a menu bar. Here is an explanation of each choice starting from the far left.

Triberr logo – This will take you to the front page of Triberr. It will look like this when you are signed in. It includes very high quality blog posts by members, that will help you be a better blogger. The posts cover a broad variety of topics, so there is something for everyone.

Tribes – This is where you will find the tribes you are in. When you click on it, a drop down menu will appear with the names of the tribes you are in. (It will look like the photo below) If you click on the tribe name, you will then enter the tribe (more on this later). In a tribe that you are not the chief of, you can leave messages on the wall (tribal council), check out other members or change your account settings. In a tribe you have created you get the additional choices of seeing the applications for those that have applied to be in your tribe, check out any invitations you have sent or send an invitation or change the overall Tribal settings for your entire Tribe.

Bonfires – This is the Triberr community. It’s a forum of sorts where you can “hang out”, where you can go to ask questions, get technical support, find new tribemates once you have unlocked inbreeding (more later), find people to guest post on your blog or just chat in general.
It looks like this:
Because the bonfires are a community area, it is important that you click on the appropriate category on the left side of the page to post in that category. If I have a technical support question, I will click on the spot that says Technical Support.
This will then take me to that category. Click to make this graphic bigger to see what to do.
Search Bar – You can use this to find other members and/or tribes that are already on Triberr. Search by first or last name or even by a word in the title of the tribe.
![]()
Home – Home is where all the action is. (this has its own guide) This is your profile page. You will probably visit this page the most. This is where you’re going to find your Tribal Stream (the posts that are scheduled to go out from your other tribemates that you will need to approve), your Sent Stream (the posts that you have sent out already), your My Stream (your own personal posts that have been imported into triberr), your optimize tab, any inbreeding invites you might have, Triberr statistics and more. It looks like this:

Bones are the Triberr currency. You start out with some free bones. You randomly earn bones by giving Karma (thumbs up and thumbs down) in different areas of the site. Currently it is in your main stream of your tribe mates posts and it has also been integrated into the Bonfire area. The last selection on the bar at the top is Bones. You can click on that to go purchase more bones. You need bones for several things on the site, so it is important to give out Karma if you want to earn them. But you should buy them too. This is what that screen looks like. It’s super fast and super easy and instant. Just click on the package you want and follow the directions. It’s like ordering on any site.

Invite.

The last spot on the blue navigation bar is actually your settings.
It looks like this screen shot to the left, now.
In order to get the drop down to display, you need to click the box once and the following links will pop up.
Settings – This is pretty much your control panel for the entire site.
Bones – Another place you can go to buy bones.
Logout – This will sign you out of the site.
When you are ready to sign back in, the sign in field looks like this:

I’ve noticed that giving Karma has not resulted in any more bones recently – has there been a change? Thanks.
Yes, this has been discussed in the bonfire area a few times. Winning bones from giving Karma has been terminated due to abuse of the system. It’s unfortunate but Triberr does have to protect themselves.
P.S. There are some new ways to earn bones in development but they will take some time to implement.
Thanks Nicole for the explanation!
First, Nicole, thanks for doing this! As with anything new it is great when someone who is experienced helps the novices along.
I am not sure what step I missed, but my page doesn’t look anything like your samples and I can’t go anywhere without getting an add about blog to book. It looks like I’ve been hacked, but when I try to start over Triberr tells me I already have an account. Is there any way to find settings and start over? Or delete and start over?
Lynette, I am seriously confused about what you are telling me happened. Please feel free to email me nicole AT dailydishrecipes.com and help me understand exactly what happened. I will sort this out for you and if not, then we’ll drag Dan into it.:) thanks
