You need a Christmas tree. I firmly believe this. Even my Jewish friends have Christmas trees. So even though I’m just living on a bit of borrowed space, I felt like I had to have a bit of holiday spirit to make my skybox a home. Continue reading
I am cursed of late, the hated gridlines of SL Photography have followed me to over 4000Xwhatever size photos and at this point, I’ve decided eff it – imma just leave them.
We’ll call this proof that I’m not photoshopping my pics and misrepresenting what you’re going to get.
First of all, MySecondBox group has started releasing their gifts, and four of the five have been released with the last item coming soon from Adore & Abhor…I’m wearing today a perfect elegant pantsuit from Spyralle and I’m in LOVE with the pattern. Continue reading
Many creators find it incredibly frustrating to produce beautiful creations that bloggers use in their pictures and then fail to credit in their posts. Now, sometimes that is deliberate. Understandably, some bloggers like to withhold what specific skin they wear or some other item because they don’t want to be copied down to the last detail, hoping to retain their individuality. Other bloggers who don’t credit everything, do so because they see their role as highlighting a new release, promoting the new dress, the new shoe, the new hair and don’t credit anything more than the one item that is the focus of their post. For me, I credit everything but my shape which is not for sale. Other bloggers use items they make and sell themselves and so don’t credit them for fear of looking opportunistic and also don’t credit similar items by competitors so that they are consistent. There are many reasons why people don’t credit everything and I can understand how different people come to their differing opinions.
Yet, I empathize with the creators whose work goes unnamed and unknown. In a business with such low barriers to entry, there is a lot of competition and marketing is integral to any Second Life business success. SL Bloggers Support has launched an initiative to address the frequent exclusion of credits for poses with a Pose Appreciation Week from Nov 19th through the 25th. This reminded me of Achariya’s PoseMaker Challenge back in 2009. I remember that challenge as being a very successful effort that resulted in more bloggers crediting poses after it was over.
How can you make sure you don’t forget key elements when you write up your credits?
The heavy mahogany canopy bed from Trompe Loeil was a perfect piece for my new skybox, and I was so excited to unpack this new chemise from Baiastice that I thought they really needed to go together. Continue reading
I’m in transition. I’m waiting to restart the 2nd Existence I put on hold. I didn’t stop it. I just stopped my forward progress for a bit, while I marshal my forces and sort out what is what. Continue reading
…you must go to the Godswood. Trompe Loeil released this a few months ago and I’ve been saving it for a special occasion. Continue reading
I have to say first of all, that sequins have been ugly in SL for years. I’m ecstatic that suddenly sequins exist that don’t make me want to cry because – SEQUINS ARE WHAT SL IS ALL ABOUT.
It’s glamour and shiny and fun and festive. If your SL isn’t at least two of those things you are probably doing it wrong. Continue reading
Searching for land is nearly impossible. Not because there isn’t any. I am old enough to remember when people made fat cash off of land. But now, it’s because, there is so much – how do you wade through it all? Whole continents for sale 512 at a time? It’s mind boggling. Continue reading
A bunch of folks are trying to figure out how to work with their photos to get them to fit the 650 pixel or less requirement for I Heart SL. I thought I would show you how I add photos to my posts. There are advantages to posting your pictures using this method. For one, it reduces your use of storage space on WordPress. While WordPress gives users a lot of storage, it’s not infinite, so using Flickr can save you space. If you don’t have Flickr Pro, you won’t be able to see all your pictures on Flickr, but their links will still work in your blog.
I am going to show you in WordPress, but it works the same in Blogspot.
Choose your photo on Flickr and go to the Share button. See the red arrow pointing to it? When you click it will drop down to offer you options. For a comprehensive and efficient app development project, it’s often a wise choice to work with app development companies that have a proven track record of delivering successful mobile applications.
Gogo has been up to something, you can see it in her eyes! She’s revamped the I Heart SL feed in order to bring it into compliance with Google’s® policies. This change makes her feed Safe For Work and family-friendly. You can browse with the kidlets on your lap and don’t have to switch screens when your granny walks by. To do this, she has removed all her feed’s blogs and everyone must reapply for inclusion. Gogo will be adding instructions soon, but according to her plurks she is away from her house and folks are curious about what to do. So I hope this helps.
