Also, two of the feeds aren’t seeing a lot of traffic – Entertainment and Technologies. These two will roll into our Community feed. The community feed is for the blogs that are about SL lifestyles.  We would love to see more of these blogs join ShopaholicFeed.

We’re starting to tweak our theme as well. So don’t panic when you see elements move. Hopefully these changes will make the layout more user-friendly.

Thank you so much for making ShopaholicFeed.com so awesome. We’re thrilled to support the 650+ active SL blogs.
