Second Life Showcase

So I just filled out the form to have my Second Life gallery in Caledon Cape Wrath considered for inclusion in Second Life's Showcase feature. Wish me luck. Of course I didn't see til AFTER I had included by required photo that they don't want any photoshopped text on the photos. That was not on the submission page but in another section entirely. Sigh. I can only submit twice a month - so I'll do it again next week and then start the process over in May. If anyone is so inclined to try to suggest my venue for inclusion in Showcase I would be terribly grateful and interested in your thoughts on the process of submission and the concept of showcase in general. Showcase claims it tries to keep it's list of venues to the best of the best in the various categories of SL interests but I have found that claim a little suspect. I've seen blatant marketing going on in Showcase from venues that are hardly what I consider the best of the best in SL. And yes while I do hope an inclusion in Showcase will drive traffic to my SL gallery and then hopefully to my RL website and preferrably resulting in RL sales - I can also say that I think my SL gallery has genuine in world "Showcase appeal" as I like to think I'm a prime example of a creative person and entrepreneur who is using SL and RL as companion tools in my RL business. I also give away a LOT of freebies in my store. Yay!

Change of Blog Focus

Okay so this is my blogger blog. It's been a bit redundant for a while now since I'm on so many social networking sites. I've got an old LJ account that gets automatically updated any time I post to Ping.fm . I've got a facebook blog and myspace blog that get updated via Ping as well.

My official blog has resided on my website for a good while now. That's where I post about new art prints and products, upcoming appearances and my thoughts on art related topics - tips and tricks etc.

Ping doesn't do a good job of updating this blogger account. Any links I post via Ping get all funky in Blogger so that's been a bit annoying.

I've been trying to decide what the heck to do with this account and then the decision was made for me. This blog was recently included in a list of Second Life related journals - so hey there you go. I've wanted to resume blogging about SL now that it has become fun for me again (long story) so the inclusion of my skwerlgrrl blog on an SL list is just the imeptus I need.

So fair warning if you follow this blog and you don't want to hear about Second Life then you may wish to stop following. If you want to read about art stuff only then here's the new appropriate link for my art only blog.
