This is my first crosspost to WordPress using SL resident Koz Farina's newly released blogHUD application. I bought the pro version, which cost $L900 and allows you to crosspost to WordPress, Blogger and TypePad right from within Second Life.
Neato!
My official page at Koz's blogHUD site is here (complete with RSS feed) and my profile page should be located here.

A couple of days ago, Koz mentioned on his site how cool it was that you don't have to exit or minimize the SL window to use his blogHUD. "You might lose the moment of inspiration which triggered you to post in the first place," Koz wrote. I agree with him 100 percent. It makes for more immersive blogging/in-world reporting.

I mean, after I publish this very post, I am going to have to break my immersion and close/minimize SL to check Apogeevr to see if this worked correctly.

There is an issue with the SL scripting language which restricts 'lines' of notecards to 255 characters when they are read by the system.
The only way around it at the moment is to use shorter paragraphs.
I wish I could do something about it - possibly I will add a waring if you have gone over it.
Cheer!
