1. If you???re younger than 13, get a parent to sign and send in a permission slip in immediately! (Don't forget to check off BBS and Whymail!) I promise, most of the time, chatting is fun!

2. Play as many games as possible -- play them a lot. Trust me, the more you play, the more salary you have??? that means the more money you get each day!

3. Once you???re able to chat, go to the beach or to the Sun Spot. The more you talk to people, the more friends you'll have! Most people are friendly to newbies, but some people are the rotten grapes in the bunch. Ignore the bad ones!

4. Once you start earning clams, go to Akbar's and buy the stuff you like. (I know the feeling of not having enough clams to buy something -- just be patient and save up!)

Hope I helped! Don???t worry, soon you won't be so new!
