Resources

As part of your membership to Kiribu you will have access to a number of resources that you can use to tell people about your Kiribu home page, and to help you refer new members.

Find Resources

You can find the resources from you Kiribu homepage.

  • Select ‘Profile’ on the main menubar
  • Click ‘Resources’ to take you to the resources page.

Kiribu Button

Add a Kiribu Button to your website to take visitors directly to your Kiribu homepage! Just copy and paste the code for your favourite button into your website’s source code. There are 4 button designs to choose from, in black and green, and there are 3 sizes: 36×36, 22×22 and 16×16. If you want to create your own button, use the ‘K’ logo as described here.

Kiribu Widget

The Kiribu Widget lets you display your latest status updates on your own website or blog. We provide code which you can copy and paste in to your website. This is a great way of making your website look more alive and up to date, and to encourage people to view your Kiribu profile and contact you online.

  • From your home page click ‘Profile’
  • Select ‘Resources’
  • Scroll down to the Widget
  • You can either copy over the code for a pre-styled widget, or you can copy an unstyled widget which you can customize to match your own website
  • Paste the code where you want the widget to appear on your website

Adding the Widget to your own Website

As every website is different, we can not give you precise instructions on how to add the Kiribu widget. However, the best approach is to paste the Widget code into your website’s source code and view the results. Then adjust accordingly.

Invite Card

Print out some Kiribu invite cards to give out to people you meet. Download and print a page of 10 credit card sized invite cards from the Resources page. Fill in your username next to ‘referrer:’ so that you are automatically connected on Kiribu and entered in to the prize draw when they join.

Feel free to add the Kiribu logos to your website to link to the Kiribu website. Just right-click over the logo and save the image to your computer. Use the ‘K’ logo to create your own button to match your website style. All three logos are on a transparent background.
