I made my second life account about a year ago, and unfortunately had to get rid of it because my computer crashed. Yesterday I decided to redownload it, however, I'm not sure where to begin. I don't have many friends, and I'm also quite concerned with making lindens. How can I make lindens if I'm new and don't have a good skin? I'm in need of some friends that could possibly help me, but also who are fun :)
