Just a quick note . . .

The Me is embroiled in NaNoWriMo again and thus Beginning and I will be a little less present in the world than per usual.

There will be much to speak of once we emerge.

CyFishy Traveler's Absolute Newbie's Guide To Second Life

[(Anonymous)]

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this guide! I'm not stupid but geesh, SL is NOT easy to figure out. Within the first few paragraphs I was practically jumping up and down for joy. Thank You.

Now if I only could figure out how to get rid of all those sparkles circling around my avatar...sigh.

Wow! You're quite welcome. I hope to add more to the Newbie Guide soon once NaNoWriMo blows over, but I'm glad people are getting something out of it even in its incomplete state.

Just a suggestion to keep it simple. Maybe use hyperlinks to learn more on a topic. Ask Newbies what they most want to know. Maybe show Steps...#1 do this, #2 do that... I'm trying to get my company up on SL since we'd like to attend some of the lectures and education events...people that say, 'why do I need SL?' Thanks!

The problem with a Step 1 Step 2 approach is that the steps are sometimes subject to change when the viewer is updated, or if somebody is using a completely different viewer than the 'official' one. I'm actually working my way way from that because of that and focusing more on the 'mechanics' in the hopes of making it a little more intuitive.

I will be adding more interlinks, particularly between the tutorials and the SLexicon (I have "name=" links in place for when I gear that up) but keep in mind I'm coding the entire thing in a text editor and my HMTL skills haven't progressed much since 1996 or so.

Thanks again for your support and your interest and I'll try to get more added to it soon now that I know that people are actually reading! :)
