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

I see St. Killer Queen has already said hi to you, but I'll say hi as well! *waves to KQ* My name is Shea, and I am an Assistant Community Editor. We're a group of volunteers that wander about welcoming and helping new Researchers. If you want to ask me a question, or need help with anything, just hit the "Reply" button and leave a message, I'll pop back in and help you in any way I can!

Have you checked out the Welcome pages yet? They're a good place to start:

If you're interested eliot, I made a page with a list of links that you might like to check out. It's at

If you'd like to leave a message of condolence for Douglas Adams, please do so on Douglas's personal space:

There's lots to do around h2g2, eliot! You can read or write Guide Entries, post in your Journal, join clubs and communities, have a few drinks in a pub, join spirited debate, or just make some new friends!

If you ever want to talk to a Researcher, just click on their name. That will take you to their Personal Space, and you can leave them a message there (like I'm doing now!) by clicking on the 'Discuss this Entry' button.

Most importantly eliot, have fun! You might find yourself meeting some great new friends! I know I have!

Thanks for the welcome!
I have already had many wanderings and am enjoying myself immensely.
All I need to do now is to write a few articles...

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself!

And actually getting down to writing the articles seems to be the tricky bit ... I'm sure you'll do fine! Take your time!
