Bring along some pre made text which you would like to add into your wiki profile so you can concentrate on how the code works rather than OMG what will I write?!!
It is advantageous to be able to use a web page whilst in Second Life, but don't worry if you can't all examples will be shown on the board. You don't need to be a coder to understand this, it's made to be easy so don't be scared!
