The Essential Weibo Guide

I just got a Weibo! For those who aren't familiar with it, this is a Chinese microblogging site with Twitter functions & Facebook chat & Instagram filters. I really love it, so I made a quick picture tutorial to show you how you can register and how the site works.
Alsoo...Please follow me on Weibo @Bumbleberri!


I will be using my WEIBO to update (and quick snapshots) when I'm in China (as I will be there this winter, but more on that later)! Also I'd recommend you to sign up for an account if you ever plan on sharing quick updates when you are study-abroad or on vacation in China because Twitter and a lot of other social networking sites will be blocked
on the internet while you're there.
If you are worried that you don't understand Chinese, Google Chrome browser will automatically translate Chinese into English.

1. Sign up for Weibo account here.
When you are at the homepage, you'll see this to the right.
Just click on the green Register button.

Which... will take to the form (below).


You must fill out everything with a red star - those are mandatory. As for your Real Name and Passport #, rest assured, these will be kept private. Click the green button and you are all set to begin using your new Weibo!

2. To explore all the features like its cool instagram filters, experiment by sending a tweet with picture attachment! When you upload the photo, Weibo will take you to the awesome filters page to choose which mood you'd like the picture to be in.

3. Follow me!!! If you search for me, my username is Bumbleberri with a capital B.
As you can see, I need more followers! I'm still new at this Weibo thing, so it would mean all the skewered chicken in the world to me if you follow me on here ^.^
ALSO for those interested, here's how you can use Weibo in English on your phone (picture tutorial below).



 Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I look forward to update you with stuff on Weibo.
If you have any questions about Weibo, comment below and I'll help you out.
