[book id='1' /]

After updating the WordPress blogging software for my new blog, I thought I would try working with some of the plugins that have been developed for WordPress blogs. I picked one that seemed quite interesting, and fun. A different way to display a “Gallery” of some of the pictures I’ve taken.

This picture showing plugin is called “Page Flip Image Gallery” on the Wordpress.org plugin pages.

I am looking forward to creating a few “themed galleries”, using both my Second Life pictures, and Real Life photos. And I can’t wait to share them here on my blog.

ok… In case you didn’t know….you can actually become a bit of a “chicken farmer” in Second Life! And yours truly, Yxes, has joined the ranks of many chicken farmers in SL! I have posted a few pictures of our little chicken coops, and our baby chicks on Flickr! and you can see them here, on the left sidebar, if you like.

This is real fun, and we aren’t even up to the “breeding” stages yet!!
I’ll be keeping you posted on the progress we make, and when I have more pics to share. LOL
