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

I read this somewhere today, and I thought I would share it with you all:

Friends are like wedgies...
they know ur inner self...
they're intimately close...
and it feels great when u pick out a good one!!!!

very good description ....
hello, i am a bit new here and am just wandering about trying to meet a few new people, i hope you do not mind
by the way, i must say that i am quite intrigued with your page, just how do you get it to do that??
AA

hello!

nonono, come on in! drop by anytime etc...

Mostly I have my page do the short-circuit thingy because it really annoys my friend Greg . It's done using a bit of javascript that I stol- *ahem* borrowed from someone else's page and tinkered with a bit. All sorts of javascript goodies can work on your own page, but it's a bit of trial and error sometimes getting them to work. Lots of other people know way more about them than I do...

Welcome aboard

thank-you for your warm welcome, i am finding everyone here to be gems ...i have never seem a place where you could find so many helpful friendly people...i must admit that all the computer code stuff for our pages confuses me but i am sure that in time and with a bit of help i will figure it all out
AA

bubslicious is one of the gemmiest gems around this crazy place. When I have anything nifty on my page it's cause I went to someone else and demanded they give me what they had.

Also, my darling wedgie bubster,I want you to know that the effects of your blinky page are more than you could ever know. They also annoy me.

Nice to meet you AA!

nice to meet you as well .....i am happy to see that sharing is practiced here, it does help when others are in need of help and ideas..speaking of ideas, do either of you have any ideas of what i could do with my page to make it look more appealing??

Hey AA!

Bubster, I'm not sure I like being considered as a 'wedgie' (on the assumption that i can consider myself your friend), especially given that that word is prone to misappropriation. An ambiguous and not altogether flattering thing to be called, I suspect...! Bear in mind that I consider you more of a 'mole': only potentially malignant, most often benign, dark and hairy, and found in the strangest places.

I'm off to look at AA's page as well.

LOL! But, uh, dark and hairy? Hmmm.

Hypoman, i must apologize for my page (you mentioned going over to take a look at it) because i have not really had the time to do much to it, well...to be honest, i have not had to knowledge to do much to it . i do promise that in time it will begin to look a bit better.
bubster, dark and hairy can be a good thing if you look at it just right

AA, I think you have a very good outlook on your friends!

I appreciate the problems getting started on the web page: reading - or attempting to read - a whole lot of coding is a bummer. No need to apologise, though, the message which IS there is probably the right one - you just want to make it more exciting, which I can possibly understand. You don't need bells and whistles, though, although if you want to see them used to good effect, bubster's the man. Have a look at my page for a much more text-based outlook on things.

I have a website listed somewhere which is great for teaching the rudiments of HTML, and GuideML instruction can be had from Bruce at

http://www.h2g2.com/U25551

as well as in other places, at least the first few of which are accessible from the front page. I'll see if I can find that HTML instruction page, if it's still operating...

i do try to be very upbeat when it comes to my friends, one of my faults is to always try to find the good in everything
when it comes to my page i do not think that i would want it to be too busy but i would like it to be a bit more interesting (somewhere others can find neat links and such). i do appreciate your help with the link and finding the other pages with instructions on them. maybe once i read a bit about how to do all of the neat things i see on others pages i will give it a try on my own
