A Conversation for Ask h2g2

Hi there, I've only just joined h2g2. Its a fantastic creature - but then you all know that. What I want to ask is... I've just put an entry about Stoke Newington, where I live, on the Guide. However, when I do a search, I can't retrieve it . I've tried 'Stoke' and 'Stoke Newington' and 'Stoke Newington, London, England' (which is the full title of the article). The only way I can get at it is through my home page or through the make-a-cup-of-tea-while-it-downloads alphabetical listings. Not good (although you might disagree if you've read the thing). Does anyone have any advice on the best way of naming an article so it gets read, apart from pretending it offers closeup pictures of Lucious 'Legs' Linda or Gorgeous 'Ginger' Gayle. I hope you can help. Cheers! [insert cheesey grin here].

The search engine can take a while to update, but if you give it a day or so it should turn up. A little advice on naming it though, change it to "Stoke Newington, London, UK". Won't get it any higher on the search engine, but it is at least in the correct form.
The best way to get it read is to occasionally tell people about it. Alternatively wait until it gets approved and it will be placed on the front page. That usually gets a few people looking.
Someone did try the promising rude pictures or talk about sex in his forum posts, it got very annoying very quickly. Though it does catch the attention.
Hope that is of some help
