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

Hi!

Welcome to H2G2. I’m JulesK and I’m an ACE (Assistant Community Editor). I’m here to help if you ever feel a bit lost during your first few days on the site. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll find someone who does

I can see that you've been finding your way around already and posting to a few threads

Here is a useful list of links and help pages which you may like to browse through: A559695 (Have a while you do!)

The site is built around the Edited Guide, which is made up of Edited Entries written by fellow researchers about Life, the Universe and Everything. They are called Edited because they’ve been through the Peer Review and Sub-Editing process. It’s advisable to read the Writing Guidelines at A53209 before submitting anything to Peer Review, as folk don’t take too kindly to people filling it up with inappropriate stuff.

There are other writing forums , which are listed under Contribute on your Personal Space.

We have a weekly newspaper, ,which comes out every Thursday. The Post Team are always happy to hear from new writers who’d like to contribute.

You can contact me any time by clicking on my name or pressing ‘reply’. If you do get lost on the site, just press ‘My Space’ to take you back to your own page.

Have a great time and don’t forget your

Jules

How do you do?
Merci for the welcome message, I am a big fan of the guide, life, the universe and all, Douglas Adams, Dirk and all Dounglas related things, including "Douglsy moments" as described in The Salmon of Doubt.


Thanks!

Hi!

I also love the Dirk books

Hope you are finding your way around OK on here

When I was new I spent a lot of time wandering around, reading what others were saying. I often used 'who's online', looking at Personal Spaces to see what type of characters were around and occasionally left them a message to say hello.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Jules

Perhaps you could help me, I posted 2 post in trying to get people to tell me the difference betwen a philarmonica and a symphonica and I get no relies ... what am I doing wrong?

Hello again

I don't know for sure, but it may be that the place you've posted your question: 'The Orchestra' doesn't get many visitors at the moment, so not many people will have seen it.

Try putting it into 'Ask H2G2' which more researchers are subscribed to and you may have more response.

Jules
