There is now keyword searching for blogs and other uploaded items.  Also, bulletins will now expire after 30 days.

The word "is" has been removed from Statuses.  In the past, it has always appeared and there was not an option to remove it. 

User list panel has been added.  This panel allows you to select a group of people and put captions under their avatars.  Also, You now have access to your calendar in your navigation panel (I bet some of you didn't even know you had a calendar).   So check out the calendar and start inviting people to events today! 

You now have the ability to approve anonymous comments before they appear on your page.  You'll find this setting on the advance tab in settings for individuals, and in the group settings for groups.

In the Messages area on the start page, you can now select the number of messages you want to show.

Good morning,

 I just finished some new features including the ability to more easily add images to posts either from your computer or from images in your posted items.

Have fun and enjoy!

So, have you had anyone ask what you want for Christmas or your birthday lately?  Now, you can add our new Wishlist panel to your page and tell everyone what you want.  Just click on the Change Content link on your home page and  drag the Wishlist  panel from the Available Panels box onto your page.  Then click Done With Changes.   When you add items, you will just need a link to a picture of the item  and a link to a page that sells it if you want.  It's easy and can really help other people know exactly what you want.  No more random gifts that stack up in your closet to be donated when nobody is looking :)

Want a quick way to do some Christmas shopping?  Browse through the new Kuzoa Marketplace and find great deals on the brands you know and love.  And, by shopping here, you will also be supporting the Kuzoa community!  To get to the marketplace, click the Places link on the toolbar above and then clickon Marketplace.  If you don't see what you are looking for, leave a comment on this blog and we will do what we can to add new products as they are requested.  Thanks for your support, and have  great holiday season!

New Release!

We've got some good news to share!  From now on, we are going to try very hard to have a new Kuzoa release each Friday.  We currently have a master list of all of your feature requests, bug reports, and other things that we have up our sleeves and we will be releasing updates from this list on a regular basis - and we will do this on Fridays when possible.

Here is a rundown of some of the changes in our last release:

1. Status.  You may have noticed these at the top of your page in the toolbar.  You can click up there to set your status.  Your status wll appear when someone hovers over your picture anywhere on the site as well as on your pages next to your display photo. 

2. Private Groups.  Your groups can now be set to private.  This setting, found on the group settings page, makes it so that your private group does not show up on the Explore groups page or the Newest Groups listings.  It also makes it so that if someone types in the URL of your group, it will give a not available message.  Private groups will also not appear by default in the Your Groups panel.  There is a setting to change that if you'd like to on the panel settings.  We have noticed that blogs written in private groups still show up on the front page and are working to correct that issue. 

3. User Blocking.  Now, when you block a user, they cannot send you messages, bulletins, or see your profile until you unblock them.  You can block users from their homepage, and you unblock them on the Privacy tab of your Settings page.

4. Add an Item to a Page.  Now you can add any item you have uploaded to any of your pages.   For instance, maybe you want a picture of your family on your page and you have already uploaded it, but you don't know how to get it on your page.  Now it's easy.  Just go to the Posted Items page, find the item you want to grab, click on it, then look for the link that says "Add to a Page".  Once you clik this, it will ask which page you would like to add it to.  Once you have added it, you can go to that page and move it anywhere you'd like.

5. Bug Fixes.  Lots of them.  Believe it or not, we catch these most times before you see them.  Not that there aren't any still out there, but we do our best to correct them as we find them.  Especially the ones that break things or create privacy issues.  We will now be addressing these each week with our normal releases.

So that's it for now.  There were probably some other things that you will notice, more minor in nature, but I will try to keep you apprised each week as to what we are up to.  For now - enjoy the updates! 

Hello Kuzoans!

Some of you may have had some trouble with the website for the past day or two  It turns out that there was a bug related to Internet Explorer 6.  We have tracked it down and resolved it now.  The bug affected a lot of things.  Comments, Posted Items, Kmail Messages, and other features were only partially functional for some users.  We are happy to report that those have been fixed.

The Kuzoa engine is now available in the form of a robust social networking engine called Kuzoa Nexus™. If you are interested in finding out more about leveraging social media platforms visit KuzoaNexus.com
