Well, having been in Second Life for a while, I, like many of my friends, tend to forget what things we needed or would like to have known in those early days. With this in mind, a couple of fresh new faces headed off to figure out how to start, where to go, and what to do.
What follows in this post is the quick how to get into 2nd life rundown, but for the more comprehensive version, and a few tips for how to get things, make things and find some interesting places to go, head to the combined posts of Virtual Catnap and TJ Dannitza on their Blogger page - Virtual Travel Journal
Now here is the quick and dirty version of how to get started in Second Life and then get to the Virtual Fruit, Feast event.
http://secondlife.com (FREE Membership)
Click on “Join Now” & fill out registration details.
You CANNOT CHANGE the name of your character once created, so chose carefully.
Create a password etc, and choose appearance (you can change everything about your look once in world).
Click create account, and go back to http://secondlife.com and select the “Download Secondlife” link at the bottom of the page.
Once the SL viewer is installed, login with your avatar name and password.
You will appear in the “Welcome” area with lots of helpful, free, and instructional things.
To get to the Virtual Fruit event, put http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rannveig/137/149/43 into your normal browser, while you still have Second Life open. This will take you to a map of SL showing Rannveig. Click on “Teleport now”, and it will take your avatar to that location.
