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

Just a quick one, which I thought would be better sent over email as they're such simple problems:

How do I post back to your discussions on your page? I sometimes find it hard to find something that will give me a dialogue box to send stuff to articles. Am I doing something wrong- is there something blatant sticking out on the page that I'm missing?

Also, I understand that for my home page I should use GuideML - no problem with that - I would like to put accross one of
the section headings that seem so common on other pages. I cannot find how to do it.

If you can't help me, please could you put me in touch with someone who will.

Thanks for your time.

Hi

To get you a users page you can click on their name in the Who's Online list (I notice you have one on your page - though it's the old version. You can get the code for the new version here http://www.h2g2.com/A349373#WHO ) or in a forum like this just click on their name at the top of their posting.

Once you get to a users page (or even a Guide Entry) you'll see (depending on whther you're looking at the site in the Classic skin (blue background) or the new Alabaster skin(white background) you'll see a "Discuss" button on the left in the Goo (Classic skin) or a "Discuss this Entry" button in the lower body of the page. If you want to start a new conversation theirs a "New Conversation" button at the bottom of the left hand frame of the forums - though you may need to scroll down to find it. Though you seem to know most of this as you've posted to the forums on this page & responded to forums on your own homepage - visiting someone elses page is just the same as your own - click on any conversation to join in.

Posting to forums on articles is the same - on the article page click the "Discuss" or "Discuss this Entry" button to get to the forums. Once you're there it's the same as a homepage.

To find articles/entries that a user has written look for a list of "Recent Guide Entries" on their page.

To go to the home of the author of an entry/article click on their name which is shown in the top right corner of the page.

I hope this covers what you wanted to know.

On the GuideML you probably want the HEADER tag - you can find links to examples of all the GuideML tags at the GuideML Clinic ( http://www.h2g2.com/A187229 ). The tag example pages each show an example of the particular tag, explanatory notes & some example code to get you started with the tag that you can copy& paste to your page.

hope it helps
