Belated Challenge #5

I was planning on posting the new not-a-meme challenge this past Wednesday but my schedule was rather haywire and I was unable to. This new challenge may be a bit involved for some of our participants so I think we should skip the mid-week challenge this week as well. I'm hoping that Jacek will post the next challenge one week from now, next Sunday, the 4th of March.

Challenge #5:
Post a howto article that a new user of Second Life may find useful.

This howto could be on any topic you feel may be interesting to even a few other people. From where and how to shop to how to build, from how to use various preferences to how to use the map and mini-map windows, etc, etc. The topic can be as simple as you want it to be. An explanation of something we take for granted may help a new user move along the learning curve faster. I'd like to suggest that you include as many screen shots as possible and even a little machinema video if you have the ability.

I'll post mine later - I plan on covering "how to attach objects and adjust them to fit your avatar".

Hi Dolmere!

Can I play too?
I have a "how-to" article on "How to Deal with Griefers in Second Life". (It's a bit involved!)
