When visiting other worlds in Second Life, one of the things I find annoying is when you dont know what there is to do, and where to go to do it. I think there should be more signage, and its not hard to do. I've made this sandwich board, which can be used by everybody to explain what they've made and how it all works. Unlike permanent signage, sandwich boards are mobile, and wont look out of place if they're just chucked anywhere. If anyone wants to use one, you make your image and text on a 700 x 1200 canvas (in photoshop or whatever), then resize it to 512x512, making sure the 'constrain proportions' box is unticked. This will give you a stretched image. Save and import into Second Life and attach to the sandwich board as a texture. Making sure the 'Repeats per Face' is set to 1, it will condense back into the correct proportions.
