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

Hi everyone! Sorry I've not been around much lately, I keep having interruptions of real life or broken puters or too much work or RL or some other lame excuse. I really like March Hare's idea of the colour page, and I'll include those ideas when I update the Minicol Page - which will happen this side of Christmas. In the meantime, you can use your titles, and take the minicol badge from Twinkle, or here... This page has details about websafe colours, and colour in general http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A315901 This one shows all the colours and thier hex codes - use it to select the exact shade of your ministry http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A623242 Twinkle has made some lovely minicol badges. So long as your homepage is in GuideML you can have a shiny minicol minibadge. http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A594533 And most importantly http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F24975?thread=147376 - the Party Thread! (this was my meant for my 2nd hootoo birthday, but my puter broked and I missed the fun... Theres a great light up disco dance floor, at the mo its red yellow and purple, but you can have a spot in the colour of your ministry. Stay bright and funky and colourful groovy people lottsa love purplejenny

Oh my god, i completely forgot to write an ode to maroon, i'll do one now, sorry sorry sorry!

I think of Maroon
As i sweep my room.
My broom is maroon
And so is the room.

Theres a simple little ode to that wonderful colour! i hope everyone is well, i haven't been on h2g2 for a while so i need to catch up a lot.

Victoria

I'll catch up too... Here's Brilliant Teal Blue (these really are unintentional, really):

Skies with cloud
and blue berry shine
The colour of the soul
Of rocks deep
Within the Earth
Shade of Unicorn foal

Moonlight on enchanted lake
And oft reflected in midnight snow
Brilliant Teal, greatest Blue
Forever follows the river's flow

I may need to edit that later... but I had to cme up with something...

Ooh, fun! Could I be the minister of Emerald, maybe? Looks like green's already full, or I'd ask for that. How about #009933? Different enough to be discernible as its own color, but still distinctly in the green family.

Emerald green
eye of a tiger, wild and free
kelp in the ocean
leaves of a tree
beautiful
wonderful
emerald green

Pleeeez?

Hello, I'd very much like to set up the Ministry of Mauvy Russet

Could I be minister for blue?

We may need whole sub-ministires for each colour group... Purple, green, and blue seem to be popular colours....

hello.

Take a look at the minicol page again. I'm working on it...

So far we have 25 ministers, I think, and I'm putting them all into a rainbow table roster type thingy. We already have a minister of goo blue, Brilliant Teal Blue, shiny blue, but no just plain blue. So yes, you can be minister of blue.

Go here and pick the exact shade of colour you want, if you haven't done already. I'm gonna finish the page off later. http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A623242

Smashing work on the chart. Beautiful. Brilliant.

I have a suggestion for the MiniCol main page.... What we need is a direct link from MiniCol to the specific pages in the GuideML help that deal with the color of text (and any other color changes that mauy be possible). I haven't gotten to working on text yet in my GuideML travels, but color, font, and size are my next project. But it would be great to be able to get all the Ministers (and everyone else, too!) into using color on their pages.

Er, I don't understand the colour pages. Could someone explain them to me please?

I'd like to request a ministry for the color of , dirt, , wood, and my hair and eyes. Brown! #330000, to be precise. I'll write an ode to it very soon an get back to you with that.

It doesn't have a nice spot in the spectrum... I hope that doesn't mess anything up.

I requested ministery of yellow

I choose #FFCC00 ...the smiley yellow

see my disciption in earlier posting on thid page
