Thanks so much, Cuppy! This is exactly the sort of thin I've been looking for.

This is a great explanation for newbies on how to get started exploring. Thanks so much for linking to Not Possible IRL as a source, too.
If any of your readers are interested in well conceived and realized 3D art, architecture, landscaping and avatar explorations that would not be possible in Real Life (in my opinion, the most interesting part of what virtual worlds have to offer!), I hope they will join our in-world group Impossible IRL. (stands for "Impossible in Real Life").
It's free, and open registration, and over 2700 members can't be wrong! We share landmarks, new installations and cool info with our members at least once a week.. and the group notices go way way way beyond the blog in terms of new landmarks and tips. For that matter, I hope you are a member, too!

Thank you so much for linking to my blog! There is a lot to do and see in Second Life.
At the beginning it is a bit hard to get used to SL. The interface can be confusing and since the world is a wide open space where it can be hard to find friends. I encourage new folks to stick with it for a while. We all were new at one time and most people are friendly so don't be afraid to ask for help. Reading blogs and joining groups is a great way to meet people. Soon enough you will feel right at home.

Don't be shy. I spent two months standing around waiting for other people to talk to me, now I talk to anyone and I enjoy myself.
I appreciates ya sharing your experiences across virtual worlds, Cuppy. Dayum, "Cyberstar" is a nice last name. :D
