SecondLife Blogging Script

Writing by admin on Tuesday, 20 of March , 2007 at 1:42 pm

Lots of people have been asking for a blogging solution, a way of
being able to blog from “in-world” either a text or notecard directly
to their personal blog.

The following two scripts when placed in a prim will do exactly that.

You can change the subject title, the blog address, the email, and choose between blogging the text chat, or a notecard.

You call this script “blogger”.

The basic premise is that the script sends an e-mail, so you need
your blog software set up to process an email, which is fairly simple
on most blog apps.
