I'm probably being very dim ... but what is a guide entry? Do you mean a message or a thread? And if so, why don't they just call them messages or threads?
I've been here several days now and I have less sense of the point of this place than I did when I arrived. I have a huge sense of 'the emperors new clothes' that basically we are all congregated into something that is essentially a total void.
I'm probably sounding grouchy - I'm not, I'm just fairly disillusioned. I will hang on to the hope that Mustardland 2 will have some sort of cohesion and thrust to it. Sorry guys. Dx

Hi Katy, couldn't get to keep the original CHarley Farley so added something that hopefully will have me singled out.... don't seem too bad over here... think I agree with MT that most of this stuff is pretty self explanatory and given time we should be ok...
Take care and thanks to both of you path finders

Hello, Denise
Well I haven't written any guide entries but I've sent messages (or taken part in conversations) and they are called "posts" on my page.

Oo-er! I'm frightfully confused. All very strange and I feel lost. Wail! What is this about "ML Communal Friends' List"? What do I do?

Greetings, your porkiness!
See my posting above for a way to get rid of unsightly underscores...
Just by leaving your name here you will be added to a page that keeps track of all the Mustardland refugees, (U1485019) so we don't lose each other.
If you follow the "Brain Candy" thread, there are instructions for (hopefully) turning the pages here to a lovely shade of mustard, should you feel so inclined.
Good luck!

I might be being thick here, but is there, somewhere, a list of everyone's names who has signed up, because if there is I just can't find it.
I've clicked on every link and thread and I just can't find a list of names!

Hi Cubes
If you go back to Katy's first message at the top of this thread, you'll find the link.
It's a bit like wading through treacle here at the moment. Am trying to get my head round it but have to break off every so often to hit it against a brick wall!

Hi Portia, hi Cubes!
Cubes, click on my name 'Mustardland Mustering Station - visit the Bull Outhouse at A3876131', and it'll take you straight to the page with the list (scroll down to find it). There's also a link in Peet's Intro in The Outhouse (if you can't find it straight away, put 'Bull Outhouse' in the H2G2 search engine, and it'll give you the link.
Btw, whenever you visit a page, be it the Outhouse, the MusteringStation, or anyone's Persoanl Space: if you'd like a mayo like list of all the threads on there, click the 'Click here to see more Conversations' button, and a new page will open up. The thread with the latest reply will be at the top (like in the Lockin).
Hth,
Katy
