website connectivity with secondlife

[panhyar]

is it possible to connect any website to my land in secondlife, so that my friends can visit my land using that particular website...

You can include the SLurl of your land on your website. Clicking on it will open a new window in your friends' browser with a direct link to your place. This will launch Second Life (or any other viewer set as viewer by default). All they have to do is choose "teleport there".

See here how to create a SLurl:

http://slurl.com/about.php

click build your own slurl, at the top right:

http://slurl.com/build.php

all you need to know are the coordinates, (in the navigation bar at the top. if it is not showing the coordinates, right click on the locations name, and it will turn green, showing the coordinates) 

if you are using the mini location bar, right click, show coordinates

you can also right click any landmark in your landmarks folder and you will see an option, copy slurl

you can also open map, and at the bottom right there is a copy slurl button

the slurl will be that of wherever the red circle is, so if you want the slurl of where you are standing, click on the yellow ME circle first

"Website" and "Second Life" are completely different.  Your friends won't be able to see your land using an internet browser rather than an SL viewer, if that's what you're hoping.  Browsers just don't have the ability to display and control the 3d virtual world, that's why you have to download and install a viewer.

Peter is correct.  You cannot see or experience anything in SL from the web.  You need to download a viewer and enter through it.  As Valerie says, you can create and incorporate SLURLs that will allow your friends to enter SL and reach your own sim directly by clicking on a link in a web site, but again only if that SLURL connects them to a viewer that they have installed.  If you are interested in pursuing this idea farther, you may be interested in reading about LL's Map API >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Map_API_Introduction , which allows you to create maps of specific areas in SL and incorporate them in your web pages.
