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

...to the Guide. I'm an Angel (The Patron Saint of Silly Names). I have volunteered to help people who are new to the community learn the 'ropes'.

Let's start with places to go.
The Aces (http://www.h2g2.com/ACEs) - The 'official' welcome group, here to answer any questions you might have about how the guide works.
The Angels (http://www.h2g2.com/A300943) - The 'unofficial' welcome group, will assign you your own guardian Angel to look after you. We have also set-up a new-user page for you (http://www.h2g2.com/A352667)
Reasearcher's Birthdays (http://www.h2g2.com/A293195) - Leave your birthday in a forum and be added to the list.

Your Space
You can leave pretty much anything you want there. At first it'll be easier for you to make a page in Plain Text. As you get more used to the feel of the Guide you'll want to use GuideML which is h2g2's answer to HTML. For more help on using that please visit the GuideML Clinic (http://www.h2g2.com/GuideML-CLinic)

Writing Guide Entries
If you are a budding writer and you feel it's time the Guide included something that's missing why not add a guide entry. For more details look at the Peer-Review page (http://www.h2g2.com/PeerReview). To help you understand fully the kind of things you should be writing the folks at h2g2 have made a Writing Guidelines Page! (http://www.h2g2.com/Writing-Guidelines)

Forums
A Forum is the place to discuss an entry or a user's space. This is a Forum
In a forum you can use the following smileys:

I think he may be! I need some ideas about what 2 put on my page + I also need a guardian angel 'cos it sounds nice.

Blind? No, why?
There's a thread ro apply for a guardian angel, I'll go and find it and post it here.

Go here: http://www.h2g2.com/F37639?thread=62305&latest=1 to request a guardian angel.

You're definitely blind, Will. I'll be your Guardian Angel, Lizzie!

She's already done the whole introduction thing earlier, therefore she is asking u if ur blind!

awww, you're so sweeeeet! Er, where's Will?

dunno, but I will be your GA.
^. .^
= ' =

I know she'd already introduced you but I thought I'd do it again to give you more links.
I don't care who is who's guardian angel. My guardian angel (the one who guards me (this is getting confusing)) is Tweetie!
I don't mind being someone else's guardian angel but I'm sure Clelba would want you more as she's never had someone to guard before.

I heard (surely that should be saw?) u the 1st time: ta muchly! Er, I have a feeling the fireworks may be cancel-ed parce qu'il pleut beaucoup!

Oh, hi Will, ur back. Why can't u both be my guardian angels + then there'll be no arguments, will there kids. That's what Chloe says - help!!!!!

Since no one is taking the blindest bit of notice of me + I'm talking 2 myself, I will experiment with these interesting thinngys:

No, clelba can be your GA.

I know what you mean about the fireworks, the weather's lush isn't it? I don't think you really need a guardian angel, but I'll be yours, basically just ask me when you need help. And Will, she won't be my first Guardee, it's just the others have all flown the nest, as it were.
