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

Welcome to h2g2! I'm one of the Assistant Community Editors, or ACE, part of the welcoming committee of h2g2 to extend the hand of friendship. I'm also a Guardian Angel, a group of "saintly" folk who also help give newcomers a start.
While h2g2 is a great forum for meeting new people, it can be daunting at first, so I'd love to help if I can. If you have any questions, concerns, or are just feeling lonely, hit the "Reply" button.
Incidentally, I prefer Halo nine - has such an "angelic" quality (of course, considering its source, this is obviously a misconception!)
However, in case you are having some trouble getting settled in, here are some links you should visit:
ACEs Homepage, at http://www.h2g2.com/A214796 which has links to interesting pages, coding to enhance your page, and lots of friendly people to talk to.
You can find the Quick Reference Guide, like a Beginner's Guide to the Guide, here: http://www.h2g2.com/A344756
Newcomers Welcome can be found at http://www.h2g2.com/Welcome-Newcomers
Or just hit the h2g2 logo in the top left corner, which will take you back to the front page, updated daily with all the latest goodies.
Also, if you want extra help in sprucing up you user page, try http://www.h2g2.com/GuideML-Clinic
Hope you'll enjoy yourself in here as much as we will!
Have fun!

hi tashalls! thanks for the helpful links and the advice! i'm still on the fence...

i love the potted plant on your page, by the way. coming from los angeles, i can appreciate a good succulent! and how did you make those exploding smiley faces?

This post has been removed.

thanks! i'm assuming i can replace the URL to the gif with another URL... does the image have to be hosted by h2g2, or can it be hosted remotely? (hope i used that term right...)

You can use another pic, as long as you point to it using its exact URL. It doesn't have to be hosted by h2g2, although they now have the capacity to do that (see the home page)

CYA!
