Hello all, I am starting to try to write a little book of some type in Second Life and am wondering what all can be done with notecards, like different colors and links to different parts of the notecard. Thanks :)

I've done quite a few things with notecards, as have others. You can put notecards withing notecards, that will appear almost like links, or chapters of a book. You can do this recursively. You can also put in textures and landmarks to locations withing Second Life. I've also written a script which searches through a certain line of notecards within and objects inventory for keywords.

I'd be happy to pass you some demos. Feel free to IM me in world.

Regards,

Because I am not of a technology bent, I am afraid that my suggestion will be incomplete, but I have a object textured to look like a book. Notecards can be loaded into the book, and the titles will appear as a link in the 'Table of Contents.' I have loaded it with my in-world poetry (some of which is pretty god-awful :)); however, the book, itself, is a nice facsimile of a rl book.

My book was a gift--I can easily ask how it was created/where it was purchased. Feel free to shoot me an IM, and I can find out for you. :)
