Second Life, Attempt 1

I just created my account on Second Life, and got to the little island, "Help Island". I read the Tutorial, which didn't really help at all. I have spent the first 5 minutes trying to Change Appearance, and cannot figure out how to do it. Then, I asked someone next to me. He just responded, "Hi".

A second later some big guy ran past and tackled me. I walked in a few circles trying to find the Appearance option, saw a very obese "woman" with a bikini and a mohawk, then Second Life crashed.

Not a great first experience. Can anyone give me some tips on how to get started? I want to go into the Change Appearance option. Thanks, Dana

Go to the top menu and select View/Inventory.

In your inventory, there should be a clothing tab that will allow you to change your appearance.

Hey Dana, don't give up home. I was pretty nervous about beginning my Second Life, but now I'm really enjoying it. My remedy for not knowing what to do: just keep clicking things until you find what you're looking for :)

oops, I just realized I put "don't give up home"... that should be "hope" haha :)
