GETTING STARTED IN SECOND LIFE

First go to Second Life and open a FREE account. You will then be given instruction on how to download some self-installing software. Very easy and quick! Then once you have your default avatar customized to your liking (pretty simple) click on the "search" button at the bottom of the SL screen and then on the "people" tab in the search window that opens.

In the search text box type in my SL name: Starheart Erdhein and my name will appear on the left. Select it and my "profile" will come up on the right. Click on the "friendship" invitation button. Then do the same for Simeon as Chiron Chrzan. Note that you also have an "Instant Message" (IM) button there too!

One of the first places you should visit in SL is our New Earth Star Island Estate Welcome Portal. We have provided a convenient link on our "Second Life Handy Resources Directory" page. We have a "notecard" vendor at the Welcome Portal which will give you a notecard outlining our visions and the community in more detail. We have also created quite few other notecards to help you get started in SL. We originally had these available in the notecard vendor but there are now too many for that. Please contact us through Instant Message in-world and we will send you info on about anything you may want to know.

If you have problems getting to the New EarthStar Island Welcome Portal to get the "NES Island Vision and Community" notecard (happens automatically), just IM one of us and we will send that notecard directly to you as well.

If you have any other questions just IM (Instant Message) either one of us by clicking on the "Instant Message" (IM) button in our Second Life profiles.

Once you are able to login to SL and get your notecards at our New EarthStar Island Weclome Portal, we also suggest that you then come back here to re-visit our "Second Life Handy Resources Directory" page. Just about all the info you need to get started on your own can be found through this page.
