LISTING YOUR OFFICE IN SEARCH

 * Increase traffic!! Make new friends!! Put yourself out there!!**

Listing your office in search will allow avatars to find you using the search box in the upper right-hand corner of the SL client, as well as through the secondlife.com website.

Search listing information is taken directly from your office's parcel's information, so be sure your avatar is within the boundaries of your office before starting these instructions.

1. Bring up the "About Land" Menu. To do that, click the center of your client's title bar, where it says "Plush Nonprofit Commons"

2. Fill in the Name and Description fields with your org's information. When you active your parcel in Search, these fields will be used to describe your parcel.

3. Click on the Options tab. Under "Land Options," click the checkbox that says "Show Place in Search." For all members of the Nonprofit Commons, the L$30 fee is covered by the group. If you would like to help offset this, please make a donation to the group through NonprofitCommons Actor or via Paypal to donate@nonprofitcommons.com

4. Choose the category you would like your list to be associated with. You do not have to choose a category here, but if your org fits into one of these, it's best to do so.

5. Set the image that will be associated with your listing. The snapshot field is the image that will be displayed with your listing in search and can be changed by clicking on the thumbnail and then navigating to a snapshot or a texture in your inventory. You can use your org's logo or any other image uploaded into your inventory or taken as a snapshot in SL.

6. To set a landing point for your parcel, so that all visitors arrive at the same place in your office, place your avatar where you would like them to land, open this menu, and hit the "set" button beside the Landing Point option. You may need to be flying a meter or two above your floor so that avatars don't end up underground.

7. Test the landing point and search listing by moving away from your office, looking yourself up in search, and then using the listing to teleport to your office.
