Second Life Wiki definition of Second Life Child Avatar .  Cool! I want one.  How to create one?

1. Join Second Life https://join.secondlife.com/

2. Download the Second Life Viewer. http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/

3. Log in to Second Life using the Second Life Viewer and the account you created in step 1

4. Take the inworld tutorial and familiarize yourself with the game’s controls.  Edit your appearance so your avatar resembles a child, or use the build-in search to find a ready-made shape you can buy to save yourself some time.  You are not stuck with this shape forever. In Second Life, it is easy to swap or modify avatar shapes whenever you want.

Of course, for most people, there is more to the experience than the avatar shape. You may choose to take on the persona of a child, develop a back-story (no doubt it will be a short one hehe ), or take part in a long term role play involving other characters you meet.  For example you can designate some willing participants to be your character’s friends, parents, or siblings. There are also some places in Second Life where your presence implies participation in an elaborate role play.  All of this is at your option. Your reasons for living a Second Life in the shape of a child are yours alone.

Second Life is user content-driven. There is a location in Second Life designed to help people who want to create child-shaped avatars and get started.  The location is:  Second Life Youth Centre (This link will only work once you have the Second Life Viewer installed.)

Also , Second Life allows groups to be created, banding together virtual characters by common interests. There are several Second Life groups whose members share an interest in wearing child avatar shapes part- or full-time. The top three in order of membership count are, “Second Life Children”, “SL Kids”, and “Kids Information Center”.  You can find them in in-world search under Groups.

In conclusion, to have a blog on this website — for that matter, to have any reason to have a blog on this website — step 1 is you must have a character in Second Life, and it must look like a child at least some of the time.   After step 1, further instructions are in the sticky on the home page.

Please try the image upload tool

It works fine for me, but I don’t know about the rest of your accounts.  Are images working for you all?

Also, embedded YouTube now works.  Enjoy.

I just created a new logo for SecondLifeKid.com.

Also, a favicon:

I also have the following favicon’s that you can use for your kid blog, overridding the purple hand on the main site. These icons will appear when a visitor bookmarks your blog.

If you want one of these for your blog, just ask.

I was Inspired by:

Katronix has handed SecondLifeKid.com to me. See a more detailed announcement, here. All of your blogs are intact, but you may have already noticed some changes to the front page. I hope you like them.

• Adz Childs is your host, admin, and moderator. Contact me to set up and make changes to your kids’ blog. Email adz -at- SecondLifeKid.com.
• Katronix no longer has access to the ftp, email, or administrator controls, so don’t bother asking him.
• Your blog is hosted by Bluehost. (Specifically, SecondLifeKid.com is now an add-on domain for SLNameWatch.com, but that shouldn’t matter much).
• The web server offers a much greater storage limit than the one Kat was using. Effective immediately, your pictures upload limit has increased from 10MB to 50MB. If you need more, ask!
• I have beautified the front page with some pics of SL kid avatars, some teasers from the most recent posts across the whole site, and a sidebar featuring kid blog posts not restricted to this site.

Enjoy!
