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

I'm just popping in as one of the assistant community editors here. We greet/welcome recent registrants like yourself, as well as leave you a few tips for navigating the site & just feeling a bit more at home here. Since you are quite new, you should visit the 'I am new, what do I do now?' page@ A868098 . And there's another welcome awaiting you on the 'Welcome page'@ A53146 . Oh, & you should probably hop a ...any to take the <./>dontpanictour</.> .

RL or real life, calls here - I've got things to tend to...but I will get back to you with more links. Oh, about the suet pudding...you might try posting the question@ <./>askh2g2</.> . Will get back to you soon, alright...bye! *waves*

Ok I'm back! Now, a few of the decorative features you might like to look at include; 'spicing up your page'@ A690518 (you know, personalize your page a bit), 'the picture gallery'@ A692741 , can't forget the smileys ( , , , , , , etc.)@ A155909 - that takes you to a whole categorized list, & 'the GuideML clinic'- which I'm told isn't that difficult if you're familiar with HTML programming...but then, I'm not, so...- that's@ A187229 .

You might be interested to know that h2g2 like most large communities, has numerous Clubs & Societies...you'll find those listed - again in categories -@ A660340 . And that initial page also links you to <./>thepost</.> our newspaper here, which comes out every Thursday. Oh & for any confusing terms that might come up in any of those, you'll most likely find a definition in 'h2g2 jargon'@ A632431 .

A few of my ACE colleagues have compiled lists of links designed to assist recent registrants. You can find Seraphina's Links@ A1919937 , Shea's List is@ A534953 , & Feisor's List Of Links is@ A719840 . Feisor suggests getting out & meeting people...you have a few options in that regard. Posing the suet pudding question@ <./>askh2g2</.> would most certainly bring replies from like-minded individuals. And of course there're the various Clubs & Societies - you're likely to make a few friends there, & speaking of friends, there's my good friend pheloxi's United Friends of h2g2@ A703126 .

But in any case have a good look around janet (if I can call you janet?), & take your time both going over all those links & getting settled in here. *waves*
