Blogotex

Plastik utilizes the Blogotex System.

You can find the details, and info here: http://blogotex.com/

If you’d like to blog for the Plastik brand, we ask that you apply!

We are looking for:

  • Creative bloggers with a soft spot in their heart for all things fantasy, mystical, and unique!
  • Blog/Flickr REGULARLY, be active, post at least three times a month.
  • Have blogged our items in the past 3-6 months with any RECENT releases
  • Be dedicated and consistent.
  • Must be able to follow directions, post your links on the blogotex form, and be courteous and considerate in their blog
  • Submit at least ONE Post per month
    • At the end of the month if no post has been submitted you will be removed
  • Each item taken from the Product Tab must be blogged within 30 days, details can be found underneath the item title
    • Requests for deadline extensions will not be given, we believe 30 days is enough time to blog an item voluntarily taken
    • Requests for deadline removals will not be given unless the item was blogged in a recent post
  • No using other people’s artwork as your background or morphing photos. Anyone claiming someone else’s artwork as your own will not join our team. Keep the images true to Second life, no one enjoys seeing a gorgeous photo, going to get the item, and it not looking like the ad or the picture. Editing is fine, but keep it to a believable point!
