It has been a crazy few days! I have rebuilt iheartsl.com, and implemented some new guidelines. Some bloggers and readers will love the new change, and some will not. I have already received a lot of positive feedback about the new guidelines.
The most important change to iheartsl is the Prohibited Content guidelines. If your blog has prohibited content, you have to filter only safe posts into iheartSL. Cajsa explains all of it here, if you want to know more, read her post.
Did you know that there are more than twenty SL feeds? If your blog does not meet the requirements for iheartSL, perhaps you can try your luck with other feeds. Some are invite only, but many have open enrollment, and with less restrictive guidelines.
All SL feeds are managed and owned by residents, not Linden Lab. Please be respectful of each feed’s requirements & guidelines and happy blogging.
CHIC2 opens today at 4PM, so be sure to visit and check out all the new and exclusive items! [direct SLurl to CHIC2] ✿ cheLLe ✿ has a new Dreamy tattoo eyeshadow set that includes 3 multi-color eyeshadow and 3 single color for the under eye. Mix and match them together, to make the eyeshadow pop!
I’ve put together a sweet look based around this new floral Sha Top from MONS. I’m also wearing the new DEMETER hairstyle from LeLutka (includes a color-changing hair band & rose).
Hello from Baja Norte! If you want to take nice photos in SL, the most important step is to find a nice outdoor place. I prefer photographing on beach sims with lots of water and sky cos I can play with windlight settings and make the surrounding any color I want.
I love this new Empty Pages hairstyle from Exile, available at C88. I like long hairstyles in SL, especially side swept cos it’s more natural. I occasionally like short hairstyles too, but long hairstyles will always feel more ‘me’.
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – Empty Pages
The Secret Store – Nicole Bodycon Dress (Tropical)
Ingenue – Athina Sandal (Saddle)
Hello from the new Linden WelcomeHub! It’s opening day, so there are lots of residents here checking it out, including mentors on hand to greet and help new residents. My friend, who was volunteering as a mentor, reported that she had already helped plenty of people. The futuristic and bright atmosphere reflects the SL20B slogan — “Our Fantastic Future”.
The WelcomeHub regions also includes Linden Homes demo, Motown, Helios Casino, a Sandbox, and a few other things to showcase things you can do in Second Life.
Motown in Second Life
If you’re new to Second Life, welcome! Don’t feel pressured to go shopping, buy a mesh body, look good, own land, etc. Just focus on making friends, learning how to walk, opening packages, explore public spaces, and it’s okay to wear the free Library avatars. A lot of people swarm new residents with places to shop and help them look good, but they still leave Second Life cos they don’t have any friends or any reason to stay.
Nothing wrong by posting closeups, different views and bodyshots in one post. But! I have seen some bloggers that post 3 HUGE, full screen length images of the same outfit. Not even a variety so one is a closeup and one a back view. 3 generic images full body from almost the same angle. They totally take over a blog feed, and that is too much. Put 2 images behind a cut?
