Hi there! I'm androyd one of the Assistant Community Editors who have volunteered to help new members. Welcome to the largest collaborative writing project er...anywhere. Take a look at some guide entries and see if you can add to the collection. If you feel there is a subject you can write about try doing a search first to see what already exists. I recommend you visit here before you get going:
http://www.h2g2.com/Writing-Guidelines
Also I don't know if you've realised it yet, but the guide is about more than guide entries. Try these links to make new friends or even get a virtual job. I did.

Welcome to h2g2.com! 
You are most likely still rather new here and find the site to be a bit huge and hard to get a handle on.
I wear a lot of different hats around the site, but one of my favourites is that of an ACE (Assistant Community Editor). The ACEs are a volunteer group which the site has asked to go around and greet newcomers and steer them toward a few of the places we feel should be highlighted.
This site is designed to become an interactive and updatable Guide to Life, the Universe and Everything (much like the fictional Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in Douglas Adams' books), the big difference is we're only seeking entries about good old planet Earth and its environs.
You were already given the link to the writing guidelines at http://www.h2g2.com/Writing-Guidelines But I can't stress enough how important that page is. It contains a wealth of ideas to get started writing Guide Entries of your very own. And as someone who edits entries for the Guide, if people would follow the Guidelines, everyone would be a lot happier! 
Browsing the Edited Guide with the Search Engine can also be fun. I still do it from time to time - it's amazing what things people have written. Including an amusing entry on "How To Pick Up A Porcupine - A Personal Perspective" at http://www.h2g2.com/A306361 and a serious one on JRR Tolkien at http://www.h2g2.com/A355475
Anyway, I hope that long rambling monologue was helpful! If you've got any questions, feel free to stop by my Personal Space at http://www.h2g2.com/U53353 and leave a message.
Hope to see you around the Guide soon! And welcome!!

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
