This website is yet another unfinished project of [[Second Life]] [[avatar]] [[User:Danton|Danton Sideways]]. The site is a work in progress. Articles that are linked to but not yet created appear as [[Red Link]]s.
+
  
The main part of this website presents a set of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink hyperlinked] instructions about how to use [[Second Life]]. The orientation is towards basic use for beginners. In fact I am writing these instructions for my own personal use, learning as I go (very slowly because of all my other project). But through the magic of the Internet they appear here for anyone to peruse.

==Danton's Second Life User Guide==
 +
This website was orginally created as [[Danton's Second Life User Guide]]. But that unfinished project came to an end when a new version of the Second Life viewer rendered all of the screenshots obsolete. To see the remains of my Second Life User Guide project, follow these links:
 +
*User Guide starting page: [[Danton's Second Life User Guide]]
 +
*User Guide root category: [[:Category:Second Life]]
  
I've also added various secondary sections to the website. These include embryonic elements such as a [[CDS User Guide]] and sections about [[:Category:OpenSim|OpenSim]] and [[:Category:libsecondlife|libsecondlife]], as well as [[:Category:Danton's UG Weblog|Danton's UG Weblog]]
+
==Danton's Second Life Data Garage==
 +
In addition to the [[Danton's Second Life User Guide|SL User Guide]], this website holds a miscellany of Danton's data about Second Life and related stuff. See for example the following (rather empty) categories:
 +
*[[:Category:CDS]] - pages about the Confederation of Democratic Simulators, the Second Life community where Danton lives
 +
*[[:Category:OpenSim]] - pages about the open source version of the Second Life software
 +
*[[:Category:Libsecondlife]] - pages about open source protocols underlying OpenSim
