<font size="5"><b>DANTON'S SECOND LIFE USER GUIDE</b></font size>
<br><br>

This website is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink hyperlinked] set of how-to instructions about using [[Second Life]]. For how to use this site, see [[Start Here]].

The site is currently '''under construction'''. Any text within an article that is unfinished or in doubt is '''marked in bold characters'''. Articles that are linked to but not yet created appear as [[Red Links]].

[[Second Life]] avatar [[User:Danton|Danton Sideways]] presents this information to help Second Life users, and also as a showcase for the practice of [[Convivial Tools]]. The main goal is to provide instructions to help make the uninitiated learn the basic tools of Second Life. Most of this information has already been presented elsewhere, notably in the [[Second Life Knowledge Base]] and other [[Second Life Tutorials]]. However, the data is organised here in a text format that provides a high degree of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usability Usability]. The concept of usability is related to the secondary goal of this website, which is to show how [[Convivial Tools]] can be designed to increase the capacities of the average user.

For Danton's in-world storefront, see [[Danton's Tools House]].
