Comprehensive details to sign up for Second Life

Go to - http://secondlife.com

Membership is free, however you will be asked for some details.
Click on the “Join Now” button, whichwill bring up the registration page.

Once you have filled out your registration details you can create your character.
You can make up any first name you want, except obviously ones that can offend others. Your lastname is chosen from a list of available surnames and you can select the “Change” button to see more, however there is still a limited choice of what will come up. You CANNOT CHANGE your name once it is created, so take your time and chose carefully.

Create a password etc, and choose your initial appearance. Don’t worry about the limited choice, you can change everything about the look of your avatar once in the world.

Set up your security question in case you forget your password then click create account.
Return to the Secondlife homepage (http://secondlife.com) where there is a “Download Secondlife” link at the bottom of the page. This will take you to the download page. Click “DownLoad Now” and follow the directions. It is like installing any software. Once the Secondlife viewer is installed you can log onto Secondlife.

You will appear in the “Welcome” area. There are lots of helpful things here, including instructions on how to fly and move around.
For now the most important thing is the “Search” button. Search will help you contact and find your host for this event, as well as find the location it is held in. Clicking on “Search” along the bottom of the screen will bring up the search window, you can search for:

* “huntress catteneo”, host of this event, and IM or “Instant Message” her so that if she is online she will get your message straight away, other wise the message will be saved, and she will get it the next time she logs in.

* “Rannveig”, this is the region where the Virtual fruit event will occur. In the list that comes up, the very first item should be “Rannveig”. Left click on “Rannveig” and this will take you to another page that has a “Teleport” button. Left click that button, and you will arrive pretty near the virtual fruit area.

Alternatively you can just put http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rannveig/137/149/43 into your web browser, while you still have Second Life open. This will take you to a “Location Based Linking in Secondlife” page. Click on the “Teleport now”, and it will take your avatar to that location, or alternatively it may offer you a teleport window in Secondlife.

Happy travels.
