The times they are a changin’ – Issue #5

24 December 2020

Hello everyone

Here we are, closing out another year – a year that will perhaps be remembered as one of the most disruptive in recent history.

There has been heart ache and pain, sorrow and sadness, loss and emptiness; and some joy too, some opportunity to be human to one another and some relief that we as a country have not been as hard hit as some others.

Let’s hope, in the midst of all this, that we can find a lot of reasons to be thankful this Christmas, let’s put our arms around those who need arms, sing songs of joy, wipe away tears of sorrow and let’s hang out for a bit of sunshine in 2021.

Here’s a poem to wish you all the very best for this Christmas season. Hope you enjoy it.

Talk again soon.

Hello everyone

New Buzzit features


Buzzit’s New Photo gallery facility

We have been pretty impressed with the suggestions coming from users of Buzzit to make it more streamlined. Some of these we have been able to implement right away and some we will look at down the line.

A new feature that we have added as a result of your suggestions is a photo gallery that allows you to show more than a single, static pic within a story.  Have a look here and see what you think and check out the video tutorial on your support page.

Polls and surveys – they let you know what’s happening

Using the polls and surveys in the Buzzit dashboard can give you valuable information to be considered in your pre consultation period before major consultations are drafted.

They also give you an opportunity to involve your stakeholders in the decision-making process. Engaging with your community in this way strengthens community bonds and enhances the sense of community well-being.

So, if you want to find out what people are thinking, and if you want to take those thoughts on board, why not try a poll or a survey in the next edition of your publication? Have a look at tutorial video here:

If you need some help to begin using our polls and survey’s, please call Mark (027 215 4969) or Kiriana (021 360 474).
