In January of this year I blogged about the importance of keeping your blog clean and up-to-date, and used an example of how my sister could not find the sugar in my kitchen when she was visiting me, while for me it was obvious where I kept it. See…

In previous articles I have gotten into the use of Flickr and how to use it to expand your audience of your blog and this time I will cover two other Social Networks that are both heavily used by Second Life residents – bloggers, creators, artist and designers: Plurk…

The darker side of blogging


Nah, I am not going to switch to black and white, or start writing film noir blogposts, nor have I returned to being the troubled and worried young emo-punk-goth I was in 198….well, never mind..ahem! Caits World is a happy blog. With generally happy posts about nice places I think you should visit. Occasionally, I…

The other week my sister was visiting me for a day, working together on a nice project and as it happens: coffee break! I made coffee and while I got back to my task she asked ‘where do you keep the sugar?’, as I forgot she has sugar in…

Whispering Winds


This is one of those blogposts I had to pospone over and over again, due to my pictures not being good enough to my liking because of the continuous blurring of textures.  But, I think, by now this seems less of an issue (it happened last night but not today..!) so I finally took some…

Sharing is ….fun!


Yeah yeah, I know one is supposed to say: Sharing is Caring, but in this post I wanted to elaborate a bit more on the fun side of sharing, namely: sharing pictures from within Second Life to outside platforms and..the fun options we have since last April.

Canadian Wilderness


Admitting, I have never been to Canada in Real Life, the closest I have been there was road trip in the USA Rocky Mountains including Yellowstone NP and up. So when I visited Canadian Wilderness in Second Life this evening, I think it matched my…..expectations. Mountain ranges around, green forests and wildlife. You can rezz…

Ghosts of the Internet


It does not happen often that I have to leave Second Life and enter a different virtual world, in order to complete a  blogpost on an art installation, but “Ghosts of the Internet” by Glyph Graves made me do it! Ghosts of the Internet is located on the LEA21 sim in Second Life as well…

The Second Life Friends List is the topic of Strawberry’s Monday Meme this week, and I have been given it quite some thought. The meme AND my friends-list both. My ‘friends’ list inworld is short, I have 34 people on it – 3 of them being my own alts, lol – and I like it…
