General bloggery
This is really meant simply as an aside: if you hadn’t noticed, for the last few days there’s been a menu item (in the menu bar above the title on this page) called ‘[About blogging]‘. Littered through this blog are numerous references to my experiments in operating a blog in conjunction with sl. The new pages are an attempt to distil and condense the results of my experiments, and hopefully make them more useful to anyone embarking on a similar project.
I’m not claiming any great authority in this. I’m most definitely an amateur and sporadic blogger, and you can draw your own conclusions on my abilities as an author. I have, however, spent a good time investigating ways to make the process of living a second life, and maintaining a blog about it, reasonably painless.
The first two pages are a general commentary on creating blog postings from within sl, and on selecting a blogging platform. I’ll add other topics on an ad-hoc basis.
Hopefully, someone will find these pages useful.
