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

Hi there and welcome to h2g2! My name is Amy and I'm an ACE, or assistant community editor, one of several official meeters and greeters here at the Guide. We ACEs also help newcomers, "newbies," get their h2g2 legs as fast as possible-- because, let's face it, I've been here two years and it's still overwhelming at times. So here's a link that'll take you to a page full of other links that point to some of the more important areas of the Guide.

hello, thanks for the greeting- I only just checked back since last week...
I do have one question- whats meant to go on the homepage thing? I've been looking around and there doesn't seem to be much pattern- am I sposed to talk about me? (oh dear)
thanks in advance...

You can put just about anything on your homepage you want to. Most researchers put a bit on about who they are IRL, stuff like that, and some of the organizations they're involved with here. (My page can be used as an example) It's just one of the few places where it's okay to talk just about yourself without sounding egotistical, and every now and then someone might stop by because they've got similar interests. Think of it as a profile but longer and more... personal. Hope that helps...

How's everything else going?

oh, its cool thanks. I'm just having a mooch around, seeing what there is...

thanks for the tips, I thought it might be egotistical to write about me, but I guess thats what its there for

Good good good... lurking around for a bit is usually good in the beginning, until you get your bearings. I did so for about six months before I joined in anything, but then I'm incredibly shy, even online.

See you around...
