Hello all you out there.

Just joined h2g2, and would like any advice on getting started. To those who have been here a while, it will seem so easy, but to me it's like getting into a car I have never driven before, very confusing, know what I want to do, but no instructions on what button to press.

Hope someone can help me.

Thank You.

Hello Dave, I believe you will soon get a visit to your homepage by an ACE, who will welcome you officially and give you lots of useful links. They will be a helpful guide if you are stranded.

In the meantime here is a link to 'Ask' where you can look at some of the conversations that are going on - and join in if you wish smiley - smiley

When I joined -(not so long ago - I think I still qualify for being new) - I used my back button on the browser to find my way home like a sort of trail of breadcrumbs.
If you click on the researchers tagline it will take you to their homepage and you can meet some really interesting members smiley - biggrinsmiley - zen
If you click on a smiley it will take you to the smiley centre smiley - yikes

There are lots of really top quality entries in the Edited Guide, and smiley - thepost Some fantastic writing in the Underguide, and lots of other random interesting stuff in general entries. It depends on your interests, but I do hope you will return and enjoy finding your way around. You can always use this smiley smiley - offtopic *to attach yourself!

"smiley - offtopic best before goo ?

(The smiley is not visible in goo, perhaps it will be before goo is gone. smiley - sadface) "
