How to do everything with Second Life

By Akela Talamasca

Ha! Made you look! This post won't tell you how to do everything with Second Life; that's reserved for the book of the same name, just released by Richard Mansfield, author of a whopping 41 computer books, including CSS Web Design For Dummies and Visual Basic 6 Weekend Crash Course. What, exactly, does he mean by 'everything'?

  • Understand all the user interface features
  • Build hidden rooms, custom teleporters, secret sliding panels, and more
  • Shop for cool stuff and find the best values
  • Master the Maps, Inventory, Appearance, and Search dialogs
  • Start scripting with help from step-by-step tutorials
  • Control lag and find lost items using Preferences and the hidden Client menu
  • Visit exotic lands, travel in time, and enjoy roleplay
  • Create beautiful objects using expert texturing techniques
  • Earn money in ways that best suit your talents
  • Find land bargains, a bit of privacy, a great house, and lasting friendships

Yep, sounds like everything to me! If I can get my hands on this, I'll give y'all a review!

[Thanks, Maya!]
