Hello Researcher ...
Zathras (Unofficial Custodian of H2G2 Room 101. ACE and holder of the BBC Pens) Started conversation May 8, 2001
Hello, I'm called Zathras (OK I'm actually called something else but Zathras is a name I use online) and I am one of the Assistant Community Editors (ACEs), 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.
To star with could I suggest you establish a nickname (at present your called Researcher 172953 which isn't very wasy to remember). You can change you nickname by pressing the Preferences button at the top of the screen (or at the left if you are in Glasic Goo display mode).
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.
