Introducing Second Blogger

Some of you have heard me mentioning this, but we've ferreted out most of the bugs, and have it ready to go, so time to announce it. What is it, you ask? It is Second Blogger, a completely integrated Second Life blogging solution built on a Wordpress back end.

Anyone can sign up (so far, we'll see how long that lasts, heh) and blog from either the web or in world. Every post appears on our front page, Second Blogger as well as the avatar's unique page. For me, my URL would be Second Blogger (case insensitive). I can also create groups for you, so if you are part of a project, I could put multiple accounts into a group for posts - like Second Blogger as an example.

To post from in world, I've taken inspiration from Cristiano, and used the snap shot function - your email subject becomes the blog title, your email text becomes the blog post, and a small version of the picture is included in the upper-right hand corner of the post by default (which links to the full sized image). You can also create, post, and edit from with in the web site.

Registration can be done from several locations in world, highlighted here:

Second Blogger » Register Here!

For more detailed instructions on posting, see here:

Second Blogger » How to Post

I've tried to make it quite simple, an easy way to track your travels throughout the grid, and a fun barometer of what is going on grid-wide. Sign up and give it a try - I'll also be running a few events to show some of the tricks in more detail. We'll be adding more features as we go - like the ability to select your own theme - but we're off to a good start for now!

Feel free to fire comments, questions or ideas my way. Happy blogging!

Regards,

-Flip

Yeah, the only problem is people on this forum don't really log into SL any more! Thanks for the kind words.

This sounds very cool. I'll check it out.

Btw, will there be word-count limits with "certain verbose bloggers" in mind?

I would say "such people would never use this site because that would be hypocritical after they were so nasty to its creator," but then I'd also start laughing, so I hope Flip did institute such a thing.

If I can remember how to open SL.... I think I might need a hand-crank to get it started, though.

Thanks for the kind words folks, let me know what you think! We'll have to see about word counts, but I'm hoping that that won't be an issue for some time. If you have ideas for more categories, want to help moderate, or get involved - let me know! If this grows, I'll definitely need some help. Unlike Cristiano, I need sleep some times!

Want a hand crank, Kavik?

Regards,

-Flip

Flipper,

Good luck with the new site I am sorry I did not get back to you sooner about it - my backlog of PMs and emails and other stuff I have to follow on is scary. I would definitely love to explore ways to collaborate with it.

Hey Flip,

Ok, so I signed up, and I'll write *something*. But I don't fit in the categories ("Miscellaneous" would be just too humiliating!). How about, for those many creative types, an "Arts" or "Arts and Entertainment" category?

Cool stuff!! Can't wait to take it for a test ride...live action fashion policing anyone?

lol


Seriously tho, I didn't look very hard, but is there an rss feed for individual posters? Say I just wanted to follow one blogger/group on there or I wanted to auto-syndicate my feed into one of my other 27 blogs?

Best of luck with it!!

Briana: prinţesă was actually the first person (other than me) to join!

Envoy: your wish is my command. Anyone else who wants categories - by all means, let me know, and I'll add them!

There are RSS feeds for everyone. Simply visit your own domain ( like Second Blogger ) and click the "RSS" link in the left nav, and you'll have your own feed.

I'm glad y'all are enjoying it - and thanks for the kind words!

Regards,

-Flip

Just don't try to patent it, because I can prove prior art for "using email from within Second Life to post blog content to the web."
