Well, it looks like both the live grid and preview have been offline for some scheduled downtime. According to the Official Linden Blog, it was only supposed to run from 7 a.m. SLT to 11 a.m. SLT. However, grid downtimes are known to run a little bit longer than originaly stated - and it’s been recently said that the grid will be down until 12 p.m SLT. From what I’ve read on the blog, LL is working on upgrading databases, and adding asset server capacity.

On a more creative note, I was talking to my friend moo yesterday - and she sent me a link to a really interesting website called Scrapblog. I’m a huge art lover, and I’ve always enjoyed scrapbooking when given the chance. Scrapblog allows you to create an online scrapbook without any downloads or hard to understand tools. I was really amazed on how easy it is to use (pretty much all drag and drop), and it’s all free. You can even make a Scrapblog page without signing up - unless you want to publish it, so other people can see it. Once it’s published, it’s very easy to share with others, embed on on blogs, and post it to other sites. One of my favorite features is that with a few clicks to verify your account, you can import pictures from many different sites (such as photobucket, flickr and facebook) right onto your scrapbook page. Scrapblog offers many different backgrounds, templates, stickers and frames for you to mix and match with - and some of the results that I’ve seen are really interesting.

Check it out for yourself! It’s a lot of fun, and it’s really easy to use. I look foward to seeing all your creations, and please feel free to post links as comments for this blog post.
