Second Life--Moving

After moving through the tutorial in Second Life, I hold to my previous assertion that the mechanics of moving in Second Life are a bit choppy. I haven't looked to see if this is possible, but I think it would be awesome if I could rebind some of the keys to mimic games I've played in the past (WoW). I keep hitting the spacebar meaning to jump and the "q" and "e" keys trying to strafe (which, I'm not sure strafing is even possible). 

Here's a pic of me kissing the parrot......and here I am fresh off of learning how to sit

Anyway, for a game that you don't have to pay for or house locally on a harddrive, it's not bad. I can't wait to learn how educators are using it as a part of their instruction.
