I'd like to introduce 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, www.SecondBlogger.com as well as the avatar's unique page. For me, my URL would be FlipperPAPeregrine.SecondBlogger.com (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 slcc.secondblogger.com as an example for the Second Life Community Convention.

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

It is indeed quite easy. It was so easy that I signed up and made a post.

The email address to send your blog-postcard to is a bit long to type, though easy enough to remember.

The postcard dialog box in SL should have a dropdown list of recently used email addresses.

The new Release Candidate let's us use the in-client web browser. It can be the default browser.

You might want to try to have a page formatted for optimum functionality in a window space small enough to use without being annoying within the SL interface.
