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

Hello, I'm Zathras and I am an Assistant Community Editor (ACE), and I'd like to welcome you to h2g2!

If you are finding H2G2 a bit confusing and bewildering (I know I did at first) there are lots of options to get help.

For now, if you need any help either click the help button to get access to the help documentation or, if you prefer a more human(?) face simply reply to this message - I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

If you're planning to dive straight in that is great (the life of H2G2 is its researchers)- but before you start writing articles you may want to check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/GuideML-Clinic

It's an introduction to GuideML, which is a Markup Language (like HTML) we use in the Guide. It's very easy to use, and makes Guide entries look much better.

Remember if you need help or just want to have a chat, feel free to reply to this message.

No complicated instructions to follow (although if you would cut down the largest tree in the forest with a herring I would be greatful)

Thanks very much for the welcome. I think for the moment, I shall just potter around on my own steam. If I have any qustions though, I'll certainly talk to you. Catch you later.

Oh hi. I've got a question. There is something that I want to add on the entries of towels but not as an entry, rather sort of adding to someone elses contribution. How would I go about that?

Hi there Jon, Granny Weatherwax here, another ACE, (we pop up all over the place) to add something to an entry, just click on discuss at the bottom of the entry. Hope this helps, if not, the just have a couple of s and then it might make sense!!!

luv

Too much.

"Uhh. Well, one."
"Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's one, but otherwise, we're solid."

Sorry, couldn't resist!
