Ok, I will. BTW, How do you get entries posted in the guide?

Hi

Entries in the guide, eh?! Well, have you checked out Peer Review yet? That's where you go to get things put up for the edited guide. Just click on the big banner at the top of your space!

What happens is that you post a new conversation with the entry's A number and title in the subject box, and then post a link to the entry. Other researchers then give you their opinions and input, and if a scout likes it, they will recommend it. After that, it goes to a sub-ed, and then, hopefully, into the edited guide!

Hang around in Peer review to get an idea of how it works!

Good luck!



BTW, what's your entry about?? I'm just plain nosy!

I forgot to say...

To create an entry, go to the bottom of your space, and there's a link there to add a new entry. If you click it, you get a blank page to write your entry in! Then, when you save it, it appears on your space with an A number next to it.
