Willkommen, Bienvenu, Welcome

Welcome to H2G2!!
What you have to remember is that this guide is large.....very, very large....mindbogglingly large in fact. Don't let that put you off. There is something for just about everyone here. We are a friendly buch and anyone will help you out.
I felt intimidated when I first joined and I spent a while just looking but I didn't really do much until I plucked up the courage to try and change my homepage and as a consequence taught myself how to use html and GuideML for which I am eternally grateful to the Guide. I then had enough confidence to write some articles and also engage myself in the 'fantasy world' side of the guide. After a while having fun I was allowed to become an ACE and decided to dedicate myself to welcoming new users.
So don't hesitate to ask any questions, no matter how trivial they seem , it's part of my role as an ACE. If I don't know the answer I will know how to find out. Welcome once again - if you use the links below you will get a flavour of what this thing is all about....basically life itself I guess.

Take a look at some guide entries and see if you can add to the collection. If you feel there is a subject you can write about try doing a search first to see what already exists. I recommend you visit here before you get going:
