avatar island has an orientation area (as it is a gateway sim) and I went through it and wow, I wish I had that when I started SL

very simple to follow, covers just about everything a new resident needs to know

When I was first "born" here Orientation/Help islands reminded me of Fort Lauderdale at Spring Break. I learned absolutely nothing but had a lot of fun doing it!

I will check out Orientation Station and avatar island

It is not that you can't learn without the Tutorials, but they can be very helpful, and once someone gets on SL for a while one really understands how they would be useful

I went to Orientation Station and avatar island and did not see a lot of tutorials.

Avatar Island had an interesting way to get your photo as your sim's face, but I tried a trial that took me to a web page, and it never finished after I uploaded a picture, and I did not notice any tutorials. There was an area connected with tubes which may have been the tutorial are, but I could not fin an entrance, and you cant go in the side of the tube

Orientation Station transported me into a very strange area which seemed to be underground. I could fly out to an area with a bunch of free things, but the only tutorials I found were related to building things

Created a Alt last month and I noticed there is special hud that suppose to explain different features.
The search feature was bit helpful wish it was there when I was much newer but I may still have had issues because of communication tab blocking the teleport buttons.
