I just joined a Unitarian Universalist congregation in Second Life. They have a webpage here: http://www.fuucsl.org/wp/ I've gone to 2 services so far and will continue going. They have other activities, too, and a group.

Thank you for the tip about changing the graphics option, but I'm still getting a black screen when I log in...

I just updated my viewer...I've tried to log in more than once and I keep seeing just a black screen...I'll see more for a few seconds but can't move or anything, and then it goes back to a black screen.

Thank you for your detailed instructions! What exactly do you mean by a foundation, and what is the point of one? Do you just mean what will be the floor, or something different? I have heard of megaprims and think I have a free set of them but I have not worked with them before. Are there any details I should know to work with them? I like the idea of making the edges of walls transparent, because I tried making a house today and the fact that I could see the "seams" between pieces bothered me.

I've been to the Ivory Tower Library of Primitives, but do you mean they actually discuss building houses? I haven't been there in a while, but I thought they only had the basics.

Is there a tutorial anywhere online that could teach me the basics of building a house in SL? I already know basic building techniques but would like a step-by-step guide to building a simple house, if one exists. I searched for a bit online and found one on YouTube but the sound quality was bad and I couldn't hear it well at all.
