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

Hi Researcher 225020....

Welcome to h2g2..I'm Emmily..one of the many <./>ACEs</.>..(Assistant Community Editors)..We're here to offer you a warm welcome..advice & links to help you find your way around..

I'm a real person..not an automated computer programme..to find out about me..click on my name above this conversation thread..you can do that..on anyones name in any conversation thread....

Hmmm..Like your toilet theory..couple of years ago..my son dropped our cordless phone down the toilet..he was talking to me on it at the time....

Have a ....or....put your feet up..relax..&..let your fingers do the walking..

You can click on any of the links below..

You can click 'Preferences' on the screen to change your number to a name..or..to change the skin..(background)..there are 3 to choose from..brunel..alabaster..or..classic goo..(if you have not already changed it..you are in brunel..the default skin)..you might like to experiment a bit..see which one you prefer to use....

You might like to hitch a ride on our <./>DontPanic-Tour</.>

These are just a few ............of the great list of <./>Smileys</.> you can choose from..

The slang used here can be a bit confusing.. h2Jargon..@ A632431 ..or..h2g2 Glossary..@ A901829 ..expalins most of it..

You can customise your space..using what is available through h2g2..Spicing up Your Page..@ A690518 gives some good advice. I'm also a Guru so I can help with any GuideML problems you may have..

You may find 'Hints and Links for New Researchers'..@ A719840 useful..

Like most communities we have Clubs & Societies..find out about these..@ A660340

If your interested in writing for the Guide..Writing-Beginners is a good place to start..

Another couple of things..we have a tag..which displays the name of the researcher visiting the page..so don't be concerned if you see your name on someone's space..that researcher is just using tag..some of them are quite amusing..but..harmless..

And the 'eyes' next to a researchers name..show they are online....

Hope you find these helpful..&..you enjoy yourself here....to reply to this post..If you have any questions..or if you just want to say 'hi'..click 'reply' below..
