Oh, by the by, is there any way to make my page load up ONLY in Goo or is the only option the button?
~S

In the beginning...there was GOO and it was GOOd! Then the almighty looked down and said unto the researchers, "You must have free will my children and temptations that may stray you from the path of right and GOOdness." And lo Alabaster was cast down out of the heavens to bleach out the land...

Please sign me up!!!!!
Could someone explain in layman terms How I can add a badge to show my support!!!!!
Ali whatever its called is really horrible and unfriendly.Give me cosy classic goo anyday!

Copy and paste the following to your home page (this is the HTML-code for the clickable picture):

Actually, Lost in Scotland, you just gave Drool the code to link to _your_ home page! :-) Drool: Since you don't have anything else but text on your home page right now, I'm going to give you the code to do it in GuideML. When you're in your Edit Guide Entry for your home page, below the window, click in the little button that says 'GuideML' and then click on 'change type' Then paste one of the following bits of code in the window wherever you'd like it (just make sure you leave the at the very top and the at the very bottom). If you want a link for people who are using alabaster to click on so they can see your page in Goo, use the following: If you want a link for people to come to the Goo Fan Club, use the following: As always, it's a good idea to hit 'preview' to make sure it works, before hitting 'update entry'. Finally, people are welcome to use these images off my server if they don't have a server or ISP where they can upload images, but if you do have the capability, then it's good form to use your own server space for them. You would do this by saving the appropriate image from the page to your disk (right click or whatever), then upload following your server's procedures, and replace the picture address with your own (eg. "http://www.geocities.com/username/fanclub1.gif") Hope this helps. - Redbeard

Thanks a lot Redbeard.Unfortunately I now have a nice box under my intro but no picture.What am I doing wrong?

You must have sorted it out, Drool, 'cause it's looking fine now. You've got the image and the link working on your page.

Another little tip. If you want to make your text look a little nicer on your page, use the paragraph tag to keep it from running together or running up to the header, etc.

This is how it works:


This is the text on your home page, etc., etc that you have typed in.


This is the next paragraph of text.


Always make sure you use before the paragraph and after it (if you forget the ending one, for example, it won't work right) and always use a capital P for consistency.

If you want more GuideML tips, you can find some here:

(or you can just ask me )

Or for a host of links to on GuideML, forums, the world of h2g2, etc., I have a Quick Reference Guide http://www.h2g2.com/A344756

Hey, that's nice to see, that the classic goo community is growing.

I'm happy to hear, that now it is easier to place this button on your personal space.

Hello to Peet and Shadow, I have added you to the list. Sorry for the delay, I was on holiday, then I got back and couldn't summon up any energy until today.

Thanks

It's a shame the "official" tee-shirts aren't available in "Goo" or "Alibaster"...

Maybe we should make some Goo-ey t-shirts.

I can do that by eating a kebab in a hurry...!

The idea of a Goo t-shirt is one I like. A blue t-shirt with the Goo border (except for the ad banner, of course). I can say that that would help us quite a bit to find each other at H2G2 get-togethers. Unless the get-together is crowded by a load of Alabaster people, in which case they wouldn't recognise us anyways....

Somebody get to work on it right away!

It would make us easier to find at get togethers. When's the next one? I missed the last one as I forgot.

Next get-together is this coming saturday. In Edinburgh. Scottish Get-Together thingy. Read more about it at http://www.h2g2.com/a380440

Bummer, too far for me.


Bloody hell, just seen the list of names. I want to go. Can we do another one down here after?? Please?? Beg??
Maybe I should just invite everyone to my house for a party later.

Hey, what does it mean too far away?! I suppose, Mina, you are living also in the UK? What shall I say? For ME it's quite far (Warsaw), but the main problem is, that I don't have anymore vacation this year. But, if there will be a meeting next year, I will come. You all (mostly, I suppose) have no idea, what a relief this is, that I don't need visas anymore or that I have my passport at home, like the rest of the normal world (okay, there is Cuba, of course). Small things? Well, it depends of where you stay.

Cheers! Welcome back.

Well, thanks Shadow.

Allthough I got used to it since 1989 I still got in a better mood, when I realise 'what wonderful life it is'.

Mina, I'm sure that there'll be another researcher's get-together somewhere down in England at one time or another in the future.

Kasia, I'll be looking foward to seeing you at a get-together in the future. Always nice to meet your neighbours.

I feel bad now for complaining that it's too far, at least I am in the same country.
