Does anyone have a Second Life?

Ok, from one noob to another.. I'll do the best I can.
I never finished the tutorial. I ended up teleporting somewhere else, and once you leave that tutorial island you can never go back, so I'm told, lol. So, if you're determined to finish I don't know what to tell you. But if you're just sick of it either move from the movement section to another tutorial section or just leave that place completely!
On the hair thing you need to start with a bald base, then add a style. My advice is to visit some freebie places for new hair once you get past your tuts. The styles all come with a bald base, then you put on the style over that. Even the free newbie hair is better than what comes with your avatar to start with. The picture I posted is hair I managed to somewhat create, but its not very good, I'll be looking for more.
Do you want to send me or tell me your avatar name? I can invite you to our group of 3, lol. Of course, now we have a member who can own land (not to mention write cool scripts)! I think I'll be upgrading Be's status in the group, that is if I can figure it out. ROFL

I did what I could and practically finished the whole tutorial. The only thing that is really bugging me right now is that I can't seem to finish the tutorial on how to move. I do the driving part, I do the running over the rat part and I do the flying part but I'm still missing a star. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? And after all is completed does it tell you what to do next or you're left to yourself to find out?

Have you left the tutorial area? If not, the easiest thing to do is to click on the sign post in that area towards the right. It is a reset sign. I had to do this several times. I am thinking it was a bug of some sort. Once you reset, head towards the red target area in the center of the path. You should get a star after this. From there I am not sure what I did lol. I just kind of teleported to a welcome island of some sort and then teleported out of there accidently! ;D

Here's something about clothing / hair that didn't make sense to me for a while:
- clothing and hair can either be generated from the Appearances options (using the sliders as well as uploading textures), or, COMPLETELY separate from the Appeances slides, by actually ATTACHING it to the outside of your avatar's body, on one of dozens of pre-set attachment points. These attachments are made of "primitives" (the building blocks of all objects), and so are often called "prim hair" or "prim skirts". Fancy (and expensive) clothing and hair tends to be "prim"-attachment-based. Freebies tend to be via the appearances menu.
So, sometimes it looks like you are wearing two overlapping hairs. That's probably because you have one set in the Appearances menu, and one set as an attachment, OR both as attachments.
Hope that helps.

Thank you Be, that is good information to know. When I had those little poms poms in my hair, I had no idea it was not actually hair, that's why I had such a difficult time removing it. By mistake I right clicked on those attachments and was able to remove them. Phew! That such a pain in the booty.
I'm still looking around, trying to figure out how to earn money. It looks like I'm a spender real life and virtually. I see a pair of shoes that are about L400 and I want them bad. lol
Anyways, I went around yesterday checking out the shops and whatnot, I began to see how incredibly talented these people are with their creations. I am at a lost for words when I see all the work that goes into each and every one. Maybe one day I will also get to create some designs myself. Be, to design hair, makeup, clothes and all those goodies; do you need to know scripting? Any help in that area would be great. Also, when you upload patterns do you need to pay for that?
Thanks for all the help and the new addiction. :P

If this goes on too much longer, we may need to start a Second Life sub-board. :lol:
