A Message of the Day (MOTD) is the blurb that's shown to everyone while logging into Second Life. It can be a quicktip, emergency announcement, or even a useful/fun Second Life link. Like this:

5 useful + fun facts about the MOTD

1. It's certainly a message, but isn't necessarily per day
2. You can click links in the MOTD
3. Customer Lifecycle Management takes care of the MOTD
4. There used to be a Help menu item to show the MOTD
5. There's a wiki page which archives the MOTDs! (You're right here!)

New MOTDs

New MOTD messages are listed atop the pile for each month.
