How do I start a blog in SL?

 

[Madelaine McMasters]

Hi squiffer,

The closest thing SL offers to the characteristics of a blog is probably your profile feed at:

https://my.secondlife.com

You can post musings and snapshots there, and people can comment on them. There are privacy controls that allow you to limit access and participation on your feed. As with almost every aspect of SL, there are niggling misbehaviors and missing functionality that can frustrate you, but lots of people use it every day.

Wander around to see how others use their feeds. You may find it's good enough for your purposes.

Maddy's got a good suggestion.  If you want to start a REAL blog, perhaps the two most popular blog hosting sites are Blogger.com (Google) and Wordpress.com.  Either one will walk you through the process of setting up a blog, it's very easy!  Heck, even I managed it!  See the link below to see mine.
