1/24/12 Getting into my sim Peninsula in Kitely

How to get into a virtual world
Here are the instructions for accessing my sim.  If it is closed that probably means I have students under 18 on it for that time.  Just check back later and I will have opened it up again.  Keep in mind that it is a work in progress.  Trees or half buildings in the air mean I am in the process of constructing something.  I will post photos here as I complete features.

This is what you do to get into PENINSULA, Beth's virtual world on Kitely:

1)  Download the viewer - this lets you enter virtual worlds:
CLOSE it if it opens on your machine.  It needs to be opened through Kitely.
2)  Go to my world in Kitely:
the plugin should load at this time if it is your first time in.
3)  Click on Enter World:
You can set it up to login with your Facebook account, your twitter account or your gmail.  Follow the directions on the screen.

It will take a few minutes to open the second life viewer.  You should appear as a dressed avatar next to a row boat with your name hovering over your head in text.

If you have problems: 
1)  You can reinstall the plugin:
2)  You can check the technology requirements below to see if your computer meets the minimum tech requirements.
