h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

another great instalment

Thanks Genie! it's nice to hear a nice word about this particular installment...

Well mental health is a funny subject to talk about....



And I wanted to drop you a note to prove I read your column!!

I'm still pleased that someone does..

Good one Z!
I did wonder where you'd been, nice to see you are still writing.

This is one reason I'd like to see hit-counters on h2g2 - so many of us just read articles every week without hardly ever commenting!

Interesting read, Z!

Thanks until a few weeks ago I was happly living in a delusion that nobody read it apart from Terri.

I have learned you never know who is lurking!

It indeed is interesting and now on I will make sure to comment on entries I read! Being a newbie I feel great if someone notices my entries. Unfortunately they are not attracting many readers
I think I will also leave a note if I visit someone's space!
Having hit counter is a good idea though!

*checks that I've read them all* (putting a phrase bettween astriks like this means that it's something I'm doing lots of h2g2ers do this)

Don't worry about the lack of comment in Peer Review, it usually means that there is nothing more to improve on them, so people don't post any more to thread because they can't think of things to say.

There are a number of sneaky ways of getting your entries read more

create a journal entry with links to the the entries in it, then when people visit your space, they can see that you want people to post there.

In Peer review, the entries are ordered in a way that means that those that get the most recent comments are at the top of the list. Posting "is there anything else I need to do" will push the entry to the top of the list.

Great tips !!!I will try these with my next entry!

Thanks!!

In case you didn't know, you can find out a lot about most people on h2g2 by reading their personal space, you can get their by clicking on their name in a conversation forum. Then you don't have to ask the a/s/l rubbish every time you talk to someone
