Hello and welcome to h2g2 we are a friendly bunch and like to greet the newcomers so i thought i would stop by and say hello.
We have a group called A.C.E.s there assistant community editors who will drop by and leave a few of these http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/welcome
They are very helpful like that but until one drops by if there is anything that you would like just reply to this message or drop by my homepage by clicking on my name and ask me there.

I attempted to submit an entry (A793316). After several attempts at getting the GuideML debugged I corrected the error (I thought), updated the article and it promptly vanished.
Sorry to hassle you - but what am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Brian
Vanished!

Hi displaced alien Brian!
I'm Friar, one of the H2G2 guardian angels, I heard your cry for help and popped by to see if I could assist you.
Poof!
You're fixed, of coures, I didn't do anything, but your article is in place.
I'll jump over to the writin worksho and have a look at it and give you some comments over there.
Welcome to our site.
Below I'm going to paste my official greeting note:
there's some helpful stuff (I hope) in there:
Welcome to H2G2, I'm glad you've found the site, and hope you enjoy it here.
There's lots of useful, useless, fun and interseting stuff here. Sometimes people are too nice and I need to make fun of them a bit, but then we laugh at other people and all is well.
I've been around this site for a few years, on and off. Creating original pieces of writing, reading the creations of others, chatting and creating a little Universe of my own within the H2G2 realm is awesome. If you run across something and discover that you have a question, ask! It may take a few days to get a response from the author, but you'll probably get one, or start a great conversation.
My name is Friar. I'm from Chicago, Ill., USA. I'm in medical school now, but I'll be finishing in May 2003 *he knocks on wood fervently*
Here's my link page, I've put a bunch of fun and helpful stuff in there: A783902. You'll find a link to the Guardian Angels page there. We like to greet new uses and let them know where to turn for help. We're an unofficial lot, but the ACEs, assistant community editors are the official mett-and-greeters and they do a great job too! I believe I dropped # their page on my list too.
You can find me here: A158503 or in my Junkyard at A777305. I'm usually in the Junkyard researching new stuff.
For a bit of whimsy, here are some gratuitous smilies:
Can I offer you something from the smiley menu?
