[[New and in need of some tips and guidance.]]

Thank you all so much for your help. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it slowly but surely Are there any things that you would recommend I do first and for most? My first goal was to customize my avatar the way I want her to look, once I've mastered that what would you should be my next goal? I've got a couple questions surrounding some terminology I've heard people using. I see the word "prim" being used a lot, can anyone tell me what that means? Sorry if any of these questions seem dumb or redundant, I really do appreciate all the help though :robothappy:

You're amazing, thank you so very much for all of your help!! Can I ask (although it may sound dumb...) what does "mesh" mean? I hear a lot of people using the term to describe items they've purchased.

Hello everyone :) 

I'm new to SL and have done an alright job of figuring things out thus far, however there are a few questions that remain unanswered to me and I was hoping to get some tips to make my time here easier and more fun. I watched a documentary about SL called "Life 2.0" a couple of nights ago on Netflix and I knew right away that I wanted to join. I wasn't prepared for how confusing certain things could prove to be however. Thanks in advance for any help :robotwink:

 

• I feel as though my inventory and wardrobe are incredibly disorganized and confusing. Any tips on ways to organize the items here? (ex: I chose a random avatar as my base to sign up but all of the clothes that she was wearing are still there, do I have to keep them and if so can I not categorize all items I own under titles such as "tops,bottoms,makeup,shoes etc." ?)
• I purchased some different clothing items and accessories but didn't know how to "try them on" before buying them... is there a way to do so?
• Can you change your avatar's physical features (ex: the shape and look of the face and skin, size of breasts/body etc.) and if so how?
• My SL viewer seems to be lagging and going quite slow in comparison to the regular websites I visit (obviously, I realize it is quite content heavy). I was wondering if anyone has tips on ways to make it run faster, or what kind of specs I would be looking for when buying a computer that has better graphics capability? (that may be way out of anyone's realm of advice but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask)
• My avatar has a white "corset" style item that she came with and it is not listed in the items she's wearing, however I cannot remove it from her and it remains visible under the dress I purchased and applied to her. Any tips on how to remove it or if that's even possible? 
• Once I've finished customizing my avatar what are some good places to start going for newbies and how do I locate them?

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this,
