Staying Connected - How do YOU do it?

A question for designers - which tools do you use to showcase new arrivals, connect with customers and designers - and why did you choose that tool?

I've made a few new accounts recently - but I'm not actually certain the best ways to use the new sites and technologies.

I find flickr and my blog the most helpful - I'm not certain about all the others - any opinions?

Shabby Chic Black Valentine - and 50% of all RED dresses at Shabby Chic

This dress is made with photorealistic fabrics and shading. The laces, and linens look very real. The black and red linens incorporate both silvers and golds, and there is a peek a boo lace that pops out on the bustle and is incorporated into the main dress.

Lace accents the arms and the neckline as well. It comes with an umbrella that compliments it perfectly. Lovely little bows accent the arms, the chest and the bustle of the dress.

Both skirts resize to child size, and the other parts of the clothing are mod/copy so that you get the perfect fit!

Shabby Chic Jenny will be put up for sale at 50% off today.

This dress is incredibly detailed with several fabric textures used to create Shabby Chic Vintage Look.

A bustle with a floppy pink lightly polka dotted bow holds up the bustle with the scalloped loral top tier and the striped multi fabriced bottom level.

the Skirt is made of a striped and floral fabric with small green linen ruffles at the waistline and a green linen waist.

The gren linen fabric top is inlayed with a floral patter delicately applied unerneath the sculpted bows. Rufles in a delicate floral patter line the whole neck line front and back. And the sleeves are puffy with pink bows and a white frill.

The matching green linen hat carries the same bows with pearls and charms and metal details.

It also comes with heart charm necklace and a two tiered pink pearl choker.

Glitch blomers are included you can make them long, but they come shorter with a frill at the bottom.

White high heel leather boots also come with the dress so you have a complete outfit.

The whole outfit is mod/copy and if it has multiple prims a touch resizer is included so that you need only touch the item and select the size - to get just the perfect fit.

This outfit will resize to fit a child.

White Table of Hors'dourves only 24 Prim

This rezzer is awesome for having the look and feel of a feast with only 24 prims taken from your land tab. So a large number will appear beside your name (but only 24 prim of your land prims will be counted). The other prims are temporary and are not counted against your land prim count.

Rez the table in the area you want it to be, when you move it - the food will take a few minutes to follow it - but in a minute or so - the food should be on top of the table

I have created a plate - which you can stack on top of the other plates - or anywhere else - it has some floating text. If your guests touch the plate it randomly gives out slices and bits of all the food. There is a spoon, fork and a number of slices of pie, cake, cookies strawberries grapes chocolate and soup. The plates have animations in them.

Plates have japanese and english floating touch me text

Some foods are meant to be eaten with forks, some with spoons, some with no utensils. Usually the avatar is holding a plate in one hand and food, or utensil in the other.

The table you see rezzed at shabby Chic - is exaclty how the table should look.. You can see it in Brauni at the christmas bazaar.

Be patient - and make sure you have scripts enabled on the land you want to put it on.

Be aware than more than one table can cause lag.
