Hello world! … Club Visiwa’s website goes online.

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Hello world! … Club Visiwa’s website goes online.

Visiwa means “The Islands” in Swahili. And if you are looking for a home in the virtual world of Second Life™, then Club Visiwa’s ultra-realistic and beautiful Islands need to be on top of your list.

Access to Visiwa

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

During much of its construction, Visiwa will remain locked down for access.

As we have joined estates with Otherland and located our regions alongside Otherland (we will be bridging the estates soon), Otherland residents have access if they wish to visit.

Should you be interested to view Visiwa at this stage, you are welcome to contact the owner (IAm Zabelin) and ask to visit the estate. We will give temporary access to individuals to have a look (no groups).

Club Visiwa Opens to the public

Monday, October 6th, 2008

On Sunday 5th October at 4:30PM SL time Club Visiwa opened to the public.

While building is not complete, quite a bit is, or close to complete, and as we were being asked for access so much, we decided to rather just open up to give access to all. Please be patient while we progress with building.

We don’t have any residential homes available for sale or rent yet, and have been bugged to finish some :) … but we do now have a shop unit available in the port village, as well as one of the unique and few ‘Home Up/Shop Down’ dual -function units. Its in a prime location as its the first, and ideal to live above your shop :)

Enjoy

The Market is now open and free stalls are available for anyone to sell or give away Easter-related items (gifts etc). Although prefered, it doesn’t have to be strictly easter related. You don’t need to be a top creator to sell your items here, just box them up and offer them for sale.

The traditional market is held in our beautiful and romantic village of at the Port of Kijiji on the lovely circular promenade boardwalk, and is the ideal place to come browse with a loved one (or alone) to see what’s available from SL creators, or just look who you can meet and enjoy the village or beaches.

Visiwa is a full-time vacation.

If you would like a free stall on this market to sell or give away easter related items, contact Lucie Laval or Wilma Webster to setup a stall - best in european timezone.

Otherwise, just come enjoy the market and great atmosphere. We are looking forward to seeing you here.

How to get your pic in our website

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

A few people have asked how to get their avatar, or RL pic next to their comments etc on our website.

We use Gravatar.com, which is a globally accepted solution for associating human or avatar pics to email addresses.

How it works is our website (and others similar) do a lookup on gravatar using your email address used to register an account here (all communications are encrypted for security), and if you have an account there for that email, they return an image.

So what you need to do is :

  • Create an account at http://gravatar.com, using the email you use to create an account on our website (and other websites)
  • Upload an image you’d like to use to that gravatar account
  • Save it
  • And from then on, our website should display your pic next to your comments etc
  • Simples

Enjoy ;)
