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

Welcome to H2G2, earth edition. I'm Shorty, one of the Assistant Community Editors around these parts and one of my jobs is to welcome newbies to the site and make them feel welcome . Feel free to look around and visit my homepage at http://www.h2g2.com/u91398 which has lots of useful links on it to help you find your way around. Also if you have any questions I'll do my best to answer it, and if I can't one of the other ACE's will. Oh, and you may need a towel and one of these ,

See you around.

Shorty

I'm also an ACE so you can ask me too!

I'm no ACE, but you can ask *me* too...

Welcome to the h2g2, Andy...

Hello from me too! That's how it is round here - all happy people being nice too each other... I think!

Try going here: http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?forum=617&thread=50816

It's the newcomers welcome, and most of them don't find it for ages!

Well, most new users are welcomed directly on their pages, that's why...

But you're right, this page should be worth a look...

...not that I ever found it, of course...

I don't think he's found us yet

Well hello everybody thank you for that very hoopy welcome.

I actually didn't know people would be posting directly to this page so I am a bit suprised.......I have been away for most of the all weekend but obviously I'll have to find a computer no matter where I am!!!!

My question is what to you guys put in your entry's.....I wrote one on my hometown which can be viewed from my "homepage" (wherever that is!) what do you think how can I improve???

thank you for your time,
Andy

What to write an entry on... Absolutely anything that you know anything at all about! Although it's usually a good idea to search for any existing articles on similar subjects before you start (use the little window at the top of every page). That way, you can avoid too much overlap of material (a good idea if you're going to be submitting your entries), and also include any relevant links.

And to get to anyone's homepage, just click on their name, either at the top of a forum post they've made (like I'm doing now), or at the top right corner of a guide article - it says either researcher or editor, depending on whether or not the entry has been approved. It's dead easy once you've done it a few times.
