Ancient Brit - A silver surfer - An h2g2 newbie - Hiker - Lurker - Researcher and Octogenarian in that order.
Created | Updated Nov 15, 2011
Use this (Plain Text) entry to discuss the current goings on with the BBC/H2g2 relationship.
If you check My Space(A778007 or U197657 )you will see that I make very few entries to my journal for reasons that I specify. In those eary days as a silver surfer and newbie to the internet in general and h2g2 in particular I played about quite a bit trying to get a grasp of what you could and could not do, and more importantly what you should and should not do. Flexibility and manipulation are features that have kept me in h2g2 after my son first pointed me in it's direction at the turn of the century and I hope that they remain. Time will tell.
I recognised the full potential of Guide Entries when I got into GML. As I see it your Personal Space is no more than a special guide entry. The title entry name and the detail can be changed as required. For the time being however avoid putting apostrophies in the title, this can cause problems. Read F94020?thread=7099186 in particular post 9 onwards.

I am not one for Edited Guide Entries but I was enticed to make entries to the Book of the Future. As far as I know these are the only entries that I have lost. I understand however that they could be revived. Off topic comments can be made with regard by discussing this entry below and if I consider such comments are relevant I can edit it as I see fit.
