Any ideas on how to get an sl fashion blog picked up by fashionplanet.worldofsl.com? I'm pinging pingomatic, got added to technorati and digg etc. but I can't get fashionplanet to pick up the feed. I've also tried emailing Tao, but no answer so far.

Those of you who managed it ... how did you do it? :)

Thanks!

Hi Isobel... don't know if it's any use, but you could try talking to Berenice (she has Fatimas Romance, to the north of Love) - she's a freelance journalist for an SL newspaper and may have some contacts?

Isobel - you can e-mail Tao who runs Fashionplanet. His contact information is on the feed.

Hi Inc :) Thanks for the tip, I'll have a word with her. I believe tho this should be automatic if I get my settings right (as I obviously haven't done so far).

Gillian, thanks :) I have emailed him but haven't had a reply yet. I was hoping there was a magic button to push somewhere :)

There's no button :) You have to have appropriate content for the feed, so he checks that out first :)

Hey Isobel,

I am wondering if you were able to get onto the feed?

I have emailed Tao as well and have yet to be added. Sooo..I'm curious on how to be added to this feed. I can't seem to find that magic button yet :)

Oh geez Alicia, shoot me for digging-up an "OMG 4 month old thread"- lol

Obviously I get good marks for searching for the answer, instead of starting a new thread, eh?


Thanks for the help though!

why not dig up old threads if people have the same worry. anyway to get added to the feed, send an IM or better yet, a notecard with your url, name and wish to be added to Tao. it does sometimes take a VERY long time so patience, with so many blogs out there wanting to join it's no wonder he just doesn't get around to doing it quickly. so good luck and lots of patience:)

Yes I did get added eventually. I sent an email and an inworld notecard and I believe he does the additions in batches every month or so. It did take a few weeks.

AFAIK this is exactly the kind of question that should be asked and answered in the forum so that the information is available to all. Shoot me if I'm wrong :p

Thx for the answers.

Yeah, I really hate sending IM's and notecards to people, unless absoutley necessary. Even with my little clothing business, I get bombarded by them and most times, it takes me days to respond to every single one.

I know the obvious answer (some peeps said) is to IM, but I am glad I heard more opinions.

Thanks once again everyone :)
