Usefulness of the BlogHUD
I’ve been using BlogHUD now for a while and I’ve found it to be kinda fun and useful. What I really like is the upload snapshot feature where you send a postcard to BlogHUD and then they post it. I tend not to use the actually HUD that much, because it doesn’t include a picture. It’s something like SnapZilla, but you can link BlogHUD into your “real” blog. I’m working on doing something more like that.
I am working on some layout changes or blogging software changes to accommodate the shots.
The biggest part of shooting pictures with the BlogHUD is what is called in the photographic world reportage photography. Rather than artistic photography, something that Vint does, this is more of a picture as I see it. Second Life changes so fast that it can be disconcerting at times. What’s here today is gone tomorrow, usually without any warning. People disappear. I started looking at BlogHUD of a photo album of my life and experiences in Second Life from time to time.
And everyone now and then I score a candid shot, or a famous Second Life person, or even myself having way to much fun flirting, just like any reporter does….
If you don’t blog now, you can get a limited copy of the BlogHUD for free and the full features version is L$900 with lifetime upgrades. Actually a pretty cheap price. Give it a try, you might really enjoy it and save some of your own memories.
