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

Hi there! And welcome to h2g2!

My name is Solnushka and I am an ACE, which basically means that I am a volunteer who flits around greeting new researchers like yourself to the Guide, spelling really badly in the process and helping out wherever I can.

To which end, if you have any questions, please do hit the reply button below and ask away. Or, if you want to get to my (or any other researcher's) homepage, you can click on my delightfully blue name above. Activating the 'discuss this entry' button there will allow you to talk of sailing ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings, or whatever...

In the meantime, here are some links, which you are at perfect liberty to ignore, of course...

The welcome page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Welcome

The smiley page (actually you can go there by clicking on any smiley such as this one ) : http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Smiley

A really big guide to lots of the clubs, societies, gangs etc you can get involved in: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A270325

Ask h2g2, where you can ask anything except 'What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?':

Peer Review is where you can preview and review entries which are vying to get into the Edited Guide. You can click on the banner at the top of the page for that...

And if you need any help with GuideML, this may be of some use:

What (or who) is McCalif? Inquiring minds need to know...

I hope you enjoy yourself here at h2g2. See you around, if not before!

Thanks for the welcome... am glad to have found site. Just a note to inform about McCallef - an Australian comedian, very funny but very random. His entire show is full of strange skits that do not piece together, shown as a pogram (not spelt incorrectly just strange humour) on ABC channel. Sort of like Monty Python but different...
Thanks again

Well, I'm glad you found the site too! It's a great place once you get settled in, and there are lots of people to help you do it. Including me, of course.

McCalleff sounds like a whole world of fun. I won't get to see it, I suspect though. Shame.

I like your new name. So elemental...
