Four Kinds of Pages
-
Warm Krums. Lists everyone’s Krums that have been promoted. Only the better Krums are promoted. The URL is http://krumlr.com
- Trail Krums. This is a password-protected page set up for each Krumstr. This page automatically displays all the Krums of the Krumstrs you are following. If you like a Krum on this page, you can "pick it up" so that it posts on your My Krums page where it can be shared with your followers.
- My Krums. Just that, your collected Krums. Everyone has one of these pages. The URL is http://krumlr.com/YOURUSERNAME.
- Private Krums Page. This is a password-protected page set up for each Krumstr. This page is for any Krums you want to keep private.
Buttons, Images and Searching
- Plus Button. Click the plus button on any Krum to add it to your My Krums page profile.
- Follow Button. Click the follow button on any Krum to follow the Krumstr who saved that Krum. This means their Krums will automatically appear on your Trail Krums page.
- User Images. Click on a Krumstr's user image or username to visit his/her My Krums page. When on that My Krums page, click on the Krumstr username or image again to visit that Krumstr's profile page.
- Krumstrs Nav. Each time you visit a Krumstr’s page, a link back to his/her page is placed here making it easier to explore.
- Category and Tags. Click on a category or tag to find Krums that match it. (This feature continues in development.)
- Popularity. Click on Past Day, Past Seven Days, Past 30 Days, or All Time to see Krums listed by popularity within those time frames. The default listing of Krums is chronological.
Krumstr Points
- Krumlr activity generates Krumlr points. Getting followed, following others, saving pages, tweeting pages, getting page reads . . . all of these activities generate user points. Your points tally tells other Krumstrs how interesting you may be to follow. Krumstrs are also listed by point standings in the right sidebar. The more points you have the higher up you move. Mouse over any Krumstr to view his or her points tally. This tally also appears on each Krumstr's profile page.
Comments
- You can click on the Krumstrs link on any Krum to read and/or add your comments. When you "pick up" a Krum your comment will be listed here also.
Viewing Krums

Shouts

Krumlr is designed to work well with Twitter. Using the Add-Krum-Tweet toolbar link, you can save a page to Krumlr and tweet about it to Twitter in a single step. A shortened URL to your page will be automatically appended to your tweet. The page then also appears on your Krumlr profile for other Krumstrs to find and enjoy. They can tweet about it too by clicking on the "Twitter This"" link attached to your Krum. Work both sides of the street, so to speak. Using TwitPic Krumlr can also upload a thumb shot of the URL to Twitter. As a bonus, when a Twitter user clicks on your Krumlr URL, the page displayed includes a short header with a link to your Twitter and Krumlr pages and a button and text box they can use to retweet your URL.
