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

Although that's not a bad site either

Hey, if you want to change your name from "Researcher 185839" just click your preferences button & type in "Josh the Genius" in its place.
It's much more memorable

Thanks. My very humble knickname of my own choosing is much better.

*curtseys*

Pleased to be of assistance

Say, where can I get the extremely cool smiley faces I see around here?

You can type them very easily

< biggrin > = {without the spaces}...
< devil > =
< peacedove > =
< flyhi > =
< tea > =

Just click on one of the smileys = to be taken to their page, where you will find a whole host of the fantastic creations



{just hold your cursor over one to find out how to type it, then remember to use the < and > and then post.
If you aren't sure if you've done it right, then use the "preview" button first. If the smileys are right, they will appear as smileys, if not, then you can correct them, then "post".
Have a practise.



Hope that helps

Have someor are you aperson?

Don't like sweet stuff?

It's almosttime! Watch out forandandand

Wow, cool, thanks!

{there isn't a thank you smiley so the cheers one will have to do}

And you're very welcome.
You have to admit, the smileys on h2g2 are the best on thearen't they?

It works!



Leave it to Douglas Adams to come up with a site like this

And it keeps getting better and better....

I notice you have a lot of edited articles. Any suggestions for me?

The trick is to write about what you *know*.
You know best what you know
Sometimes you just need a nudge, with so huge a canvas to paint...

e.g.
I give out Keeper titles & one time a newcomer came and asked for the title "Keeper of Pistachios", and I asked him what it was!
He checked the guide & found no entry, so he wrote one.
It's now in the edited guide.

You don't need to be an expert.
Just be original, keep it third person, and when you put it into Peer Review, expect constructive critisism.
You would be better off reading the http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/PeerReview page.

I'm bound to have forgotten something important

Thanks. You're the coolest. If you weren't an ACE already, I'd nominate you.

Anytime
