Discover the Commerce Forums
In case you were wondering, there is a place to learn about business issues in Second Life® and join in the discussion. The Commerce Forums (don't let the name put you off) are at https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/commerce. Thinking the forum is only for business owners or economics majors is a mistake. It is loaded with interesting information as well as banter on such topics as the SL Pro! Conference in February 2010, the new Managing Freebies Roadmap and employment in SL. Some people have commented that it’s difficult to find and, having only stumbled upon it myself, I understand why they say that.

How to Build a Foundation for Your SL™ Experience
Second life is a whole new world. It’s a place where you can let your imagination free in any way you wish. It’s a place where you have to work to succeed. When you first entered the succulent world of Second Life, many would’ve asked you these words: “What skills do you have?”

Should We Build Or Should We Buy?
The Makings Of A Good Avatar Start Here
There are limitless ways we can make our avatars unique in Second Life® (SL™); clothes, shoes, hair, skins, makeup, accessories, AOs (in other words, the way our avatars stand and walk), the information we display in our profiles and even the in-world places we hang out.
Jennifer Warden is the owner and COO of MWC Fashion House. MWC stands for models with curves. Brought to SL™ by a news article about a woman who left her RL husband due to SL, she became intrigued and decided to stay and learn more. What she gained was a renewed appreciation for her own self image, confidence, and appreciation of the value of networking.
Model Agencies In SL™
Shopping seems to be the life blood of SL. It seems that no matter where you go, no matter what you do, you see retail clothing stores. This is where the entire fashion industry is graded on its performance. If you do well, there are sales, if you don’t… well, there’s always next season.
Dating With A Twist
Are you tired of the bar scene and nude beaches? Is your SL Job simply not introducing you to the right kind of people? Are you looking for SL marriage? Are you a discreet Dom looking for a significant other Sub? Or are you looking for Mister/Miss RL Right? Then SL Dating Services may be the alternative you’ve been looking for, and you are not alone.
SL™’s Only True 3d Environment
Being new to SL I go from world to world, explore, meet people, walk around – and am continually amazed. Amazed by it all, but mostly by the “walking around” part.

I use doors, walk up stairs (fall off stairs!), jump off rocks down to the ground, and when I’m tired, I lay down.
