You're now ready to create your Second Life account.  Clicking on the link below will open a new window.  Click anywhere on the "Welcome to Second Life" box on that window to start the account creation process.

Here are some important things to understand as you proceed:

• You will start by choosing an avatar, which is your "character" within Second Life.  The appearance you choose is just to get you started - you can always change it later.
  
  

• You'll then select your username.  This is your account name, and must be unique. You won't be able to change your username later, so choose wisely. However, you will be able to later change (weekly if you want) your display name - which is how most people in Second Life recognize you.
  
  

• You'll then enter an email address, your date of birth, and a password, and create your Second Life account.
  
  

• Finally, you can then download the Second Life viewer software on your computer.
  
  

• When you log in for the first time, you will need to read and agree to the "Terms Of Service" and the "Community Standards" which are your agreements with Linden Lab, the makers of Second Life.
  
  

• Your avatar will then appear on Virtual Ability island, at the start of a training course that will show you, step by step, how to walk, fly, communicate, and perform the other essential tasks of this exciting new world.
  
  

• You can proceed through the training course at whatever speed you want. You can go through it all at once or in several shorter sessions, and you can always come back later. In fact, there is no requirement that you even go through the training course at all.
  
  

•  You can log out any time you want, and when you log back in, your avatar will be right where you left off.

We hope you enjoy your Second Life^®!    We look forward to visiting with you there!
