WordPress.com, despite being an awesome company has poor support.
Yesterday when I logged in to SL, I received a bunch of notices alerting me that iheartsl was down. When I checked the dashboard, I did not see any "messages" from wordpress.com about any issue that needed to be resolved, so I tried to get in touch with support. Finally, after the blog was suspended someone wrote me back to let me know that the advertisements on iheartsl was a TOS violation, but I didn't have a chance to remove them? Apparently support had been in contact with someone who is not me for a month and that person promised they would be removed (very puzzling).
That's why I moved the site off wordpress.com, because I had no choice. Over 650+ authors were signed up at iheartsl at the time and not having iheartsl would mean that a lot of people would not have a place to send their blog entries. For some, iheartsl was the only website they blogged on and/or were syndicated at, so I spent all evening moving the site over to Media Temple hosting.
I know that some people liked that iheartsl had a community feel, because readers can leave comments on posts and interact with each other. But, since iheartsl has the resources to syndicate again (which we originally did back in January 2008), I have decided to do that instead of requiring people to sign up as authors first. Even though readers lose the ability to comment directly on each post, the bloggers now have the added convenience of not having to manually re-post on iheartsl.
I'm currently working with support to get the iheartsl (wordpress) site back online so I can link to it, but I cannot import all 16,000+ blog entries because it exceeds the upload limit by A LOT! The wordpress upload limit for imports is 2MB, and with 16,000 blog entries the back-up file was 72MB, but I do have a copy of it if anybody can figure out how I can put it on, at least we would have an "archives" site and be able to restore all the comments from the past 2 years.
I should also mention that I have made the decision to not syndicate iheartsl to fashionplanet anymore, since it would result in a lot of double-posts. And besides, iheartsl gets more traffic than fashionplanet and I'm positive that it will be more inclusive since Tao has not updated the site with new requests since last year.
Anyways, I hope that clears up the situation a bit. I worked really
hard to restore iheartsl back to a functional state when I figured that
it probably won't be able to come back on wordpress.com, and I hope
that it continues to be useful to many of SL's bloggers.
If you haven't submitted your site for syndication, do it! 🙂
Ty gogo for your review.
Anyway as u have checked my skins not have seams 🙂
The demo watermark i use is a template line just to not cover the seams but to not create false seams due to lines or words like demo demo … all over the body
If i find a better solution in future i will use it for sure.
for now ty so much… and u not seems old but only so cute 🙂

You know I am a fan of the PXL Creations skins, but objectively I have to disagree on the demo showing the mesh that according to you makes it hard to inspect the skin for seams. If there would be any, they would show very clearly with the mesh shining through. Because, contrary to the annoying lines a lot of skins have for demos, the mesh actually shows where the templates meet and hence where you would detect non matching textures or bad alignments.
Nice to see you in PXL… they make you look like you belong on the main grid instead of on the teen grid 😛 <3
Well, to me it was like looking at a puzzle. While the intention is not to hide seams, it does distract the eyes from seeing the entire skin, cos your eyes is always drawn to the mesh lines instead.
Redgrave does the same thing with their skin demos as well and sadly it has deterred me from buying their skins. I like to be able to really look at the face. But I did see Cajsa inworld today with the Pale tone on and I was really impressed. I plan on demoing when the pale comes out.
And it is a more mature face and for me personally that is not a bad thing at all. I like looking older in SL. YAY for mature faces!!
Yay! So happy to see you in PXL and I confess to being the friend that helped wear you down. I love your look – but yes, I do like looking over 25. You look gorgeous!
Loving this skin! Nice Job! Interestingly I can hardly see mesh lines on the demo but am not on V2 yet. (I know resistance is futile but I can’t stand the new lay-out).
I wonder if that makes a difference to what you are seeing on the demo.
the demo mesh overlay not depend on what viewer you still using… 🙂
ty for demoing it 🙂
Its actually exactly why I don’t buy PXL skins (and a few other brands). I’m not dropping good money on something I feel like I can’t get a clear picture of in a demo. I understand, naturally, why demos are marked as such, but there are a lot of demos inworld that are highly marked without deterring from the skin. I refuse to believe a creator cannot find a better way when dozens of other skin creators are already doing so. The skin looks great on you, Gogo. I wish I knew that for my own shape.
skin looks fine,reminds me of dutch touch skins a lot..maybe thats just me
works well with the brunette style though.
