Reader, writer, lifelong learner. I love to rise before the sun does and walk as far as my legs will take me. Though travelling is life, Portugal is home.

Part 2 of "Help me improve these Yoors promotion images"
Adriana
21 hours ago
[Important note: since these are only draft versions, which still need to be improved based on the comments I receive, please do not share them. I promise to have the new versions up as soon as possible!] Following the wonderful response to my post from yesterday (thanks, everyone!), I've gone back to GIMP to do some more work, this time on the basis of @Henkjan de Krijger's comments regarding som...

[Edited to add: since these are only draft versions, which still need to be improved based on everyone's comments, please do not share them. I promise to have the new versions up as soon as possible!] Hi everyone! I've been tinkering with GIMP again, and this time around I thought I'd spend some time trying to create images that I could use on my social media accounts to spread the word about Yoor...
Workrave: helping computer users prevent Repetitive Strain Injury
Adriana
2 days ago
If you spend a lot of time typing away on your computer - and who doesn't these days - it's important to keep in mind the need to protect your body from the strain and possible damage caused by prolonged sitting, poor posture and repetitive movements. As the UK's National Health System points out, "spending a lot of time using a computer, keyboard and mouse is a common cause of RSI [repetitive str...

Babita de Boer

It's finally here! The feature everyone asked for. We are delighted to see people from so many different countries get along on Yoors. That's why we implemented this handy dandy feature.

No need to go to Google Translate anymore! 🤣In the videos below I will show you how to transla...
Whistling while we walk
Adriana

Winding and wide, the path pulls us forward. Falling around us are beautiful beads of radiant rain washing the white cobblestone clean. A neckless the generous Goddess broke for our pleasure. Neatly around us, undone, one by one, the precious pearls are riches we run to gather, gladly giving grace for the gracious gift. Slanted, the sun, the morning’s magnificent arch, is wide as ever, though no...

I’ll start at the end With the cobwebs and trees That sit on top of my bones Hard though it is To find gratitude in decay I’ll choose to believe that Perhaps the void bears a reason A ceaseless expansion for which We are fuel and flame I’ll start with a name The familiar echo in a Boulder-strewn landscape Where the rain pours and pools In the grey cracks of the earth Reassembling the peaks A...

First off, a big thank you to everyone who took the time to see my post yesterday and leave some comments and Yoors love! It was a nice surprise being the winner of the pool, which also means that the #yoorsjanuary2021 challenge for today is the one I suggested: "Make a post about something you learned/tried for the very first time that you think brought something valuable to you and/or others." -...
Something new
Adriana
1 week ago
One of my goals for 2021 is to try something new every week. I've even made it official, by writing it down on my journal and dedicating a few blank pages to future logs about each experience. It doesn't have to be something extraordinary or complicated, merely something that hadn't really been on my radar before and that I feel curious about now. The point is to learn and grow, but also to have f...

Why Being A Moderator Can Help The Yoors Community
Babita de Boer
2 weeks ago
Happy 2021 guys! Hope it will be a better year for all of us 🤗. In 2020 we released the new reporting function and the broken heart button, our very own democratic moderation tool. Why? Because we do not want our users to feel less safe on Yoors and be taken advantage of. Also we want everyone to be able to be part of the decision. Since you can earn money on Yoors, it is very unfair to earn wi...

It's been a pleasure spending a good portion of 2020 in your company and learning the ins and outs of this wonderful platform called Yoors.As the saying goes, the only constant in life is change, and that certainly has been true for our beloved Yoors in 2020,...
A day's mourning
Adriana
2 weeks ago
One of these mornings, while walking in a public park close to where I live, I came across a dead bird. A small creature it was, lying on the road under some trees.The scene bothered me quite a bit. As I felt a pang of sadness in my heart, my first instinct was to avert my eyes and walk away as quickly as I could. I did not want to sit with the gloomy feeling the event had stirred in me.However, a...

Why Adding Hashtags to your Post can Make You Earn More
Babita de Boer
2 weeks ago
Over the many years we have seen social media grow on various ways. Content creators have started using unique items while creating their post, such as at-signs, emoji's and links.Hashtags is one of them too. We can vaguely remember that it slowly creeped onto platforms such as twitter and Instagram, after one user inevitably infected others by using it. But all of a sudden platforms adopted hasht...

My husband’s family. My family. Our family home can be traced in countries of Africa, Asia and North America. Life experiences so far have happened there and in some other countries. Second marriage for us both, for some decades. Friendly ties with former partners. We crossed part of the 20th century, entered in the 21st century, moved along with a world changing as we speak.

A new look for Yoors mobile?
Adriana
3 weeks ago
As I was surfing Yoors on my phone this evening I noticed a few subtle changes in the website's layout for mobile. Did I just not notice this look before or is this a little Christmas gift from the Yoors team to us Yoorsies? Here are the things I've spotted so far: 1. A simplified navigation menu When using my phone in portrait view a menu now shows up at the bottom of the screen. It provides quic...
Yoors Advanced Editor tutorial: what it's all about
Adriana
3 weeks ago
new skills, better posts - A pay-per-post series dedicated to unlocking all the potential of the Yoors Advanced Editor In Portugal we have the following saying: "Os olhos também comem". A very rough translation of it would be: "You also eat with your eyes", meaning that the aesthetic appeal of a dish is as much a part of the culinary experience as its taste. I believe that saying also holds true ...

Holding paws

Brother and Sister - They came from the same litter of six. He was the only male, she was the quietest kitten in the box, sleeping when everyone else was jumping around and being crazy. We've been a mixed-paws family for over four years now, but in some ways it feels like a lot longer. It's hard to remember exactly how life was before they came around. It's not all roses and tuna fish, mind you. F...
My first guitar: a love song
Adriana
4 weeks ago
I didn’t find you. I guess you could say we found each other. Neither of us was special, which made us perfectly matched. You were wood and strings, I was flesh and bones, and our bodies together produced a different kind of sound, like a craftsman’s workshop at full speed. Sometimes we disturbed the neighbours, but that was mostly me. I was too loud. It was liberating, though, to follow the p...

Adriana

With a 320 million user base, including 144 million subscribers across 92 markets (1), Spotify is many a music lover’s primary source for beats and inspiration both at home and on the go. It’s also a great place for podcast creators to send their words of insight and wisdom out into the world and for podcast listeners everywhere to come across them. It seemed fitting, therefore, to open the ap...

THE BEWITCHING BEAUTY - OF JIUZHAIGOU - Picture this. Trees sleeping at the bottom of lakes so intensely turquoise you'd think them made of molten gemstones. White foam ricocheting off of dark rocks or sliding easily into the earth like a wedding gown. The thick Autumn foliage taking a red and golden plunge into crystal waters. Colour upon colour upon colour, and above all that chromatic chatter.....

Confused by the new smarter pools rules?
Adriana
1 month ago
You are not alone! Ever since the announcement of a new opt out system for Yoors pools, there seems to be some confusion among Yoorsies as to how the new rules work. For some, it's the fact that they don't understand how to opt out of the automatic selection of pools and the corresponding payments. For others, like me, it's the fact that they have not yet been shown any pop ups as the one displaye...
