What this guide covers: owner-managed, manual setup in BloggerSL. It does not assume a one-click Blogotex import. Plan to add your products and invite your bloggers; historical posts, approvals and deadlines should not be assumed to transfer automatically.
1. Record the work already in progress
Before you change your process, make a private working list of your bloggers, products already received, outstanding posts, due dates and agreed extensions. Include work waiting for your review. Use records you are authorized to retain, and keep this list accessible to the people managing the handover.
Decide where each open commitment will be completed. Finishing existing assignments in your current system and starting a later release in BloggerSL can make the boundary easier to explain. Avoid assigning the same obligation twice.
Ready to continue: every pending post has a named blogger, a due date and a clear place to submit it.
2. Prepare your BloggerSL brand
Open the BloggerSL access-code form, verify your Second Life identity and follow the brand registration flow. Have your brand name, description and artwork ready. Choose a plan using your expected blogger count, product catalog and manager needs.
Review your application requirements and posting rules before inviting anyone. Make sure the people helping you manage the brand have the appropriate access. Compare current plans and trial terms, or use our BloggerSL and Blogotex comparison to assess capacity first.
Ready to continue: your brand details, team roles and requirements are ready for a blogger to read.
3. Set up the Dropbox and test one product
Follow BloggerSL's in-world Dropbox setup instructions for your brand. Add a small selection of products first, checking names, images and the items intended for delivery. Keep the relevant product permissions and your ability to distribute the items in mind.
Use a test blogger to request or receive an assignment through your normal workflow. Confirm the expected product arrives in their Second Life inventory. If it does not, resolve the setup before adding the rest of your catalog. The delivery FAQ and support guidance are useful starting points.
Ready to continue: the test blogger has received and opened the correct product.
4. Invite a small group and explain the change
Invite a few bloggers who can give feedback before the wider team joins. Share the correct brand link, explain how to sign in and tell them which releases belong in BloggerSL. Ask them to confirm that they can access the brand and find the test product.
Give this group a clear first assignment and a realistic deadline. Explain where older posts still belong and who to contact if anything is unclear. Check that your invitations and instructions reach them before treating the group as ready.
Ready to continue: each test blogger knows where to get products, submit work and ask for help.
5. Complete the whole review cycle
Have a test blogger submit a post, then review it from your brand account. Check the submission, any follow-up and the resulting status. If a manager will normally do this work, have that person take part too.
Review the deadline settings and notifications with your test group. Confirm what bloggers see and receive rather than assuming your previous settings carry over. Resolve unclear instructions or permission issues while the group is still small.
Ready to continue: product delivery, submission, review and team communication have all been checked.
6. Agree on a handover date, then expand
Choose a date or release from which new work will start in BloggerSL. Share it with the rest of your bloggers, invite them in manageable groups and track who has joined. Reconcile your original list of pending commitments so nothing is missed during the change.
Keep access to the records and services needed to finish outstanding work. Only consider retiring your previous setup after delivery is reliable, bloggers know where to submit, pending obligations are accounted for and you have checked any remaining subscription commitments.
Handover complete: your team has one clear process for new releases and a documented plan for anything still open.
Start with your brand and one test product
Work through the checklist with a small group before expanding to your full blogger team.
