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

...to The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition.

Today is a very sad day for h2g2. Douglas Adams passed away. To pay your condolances please visit his h2g2 space - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A5932

I'm an ACE (Assistant Community Editor) and an Archangel. It is my job, or rather, my jobs, to welcome you (and help you get things moving) to the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy : Earth Edition.

There are two aspects to h2g2 - Conversations and Guide Entries.

This is a conversation, and it's pretty exciting stuff once you've got too know how it works! It's all pretty obvious, you click reply to reply, and the screaming face thing to complain!
The really hoopy thing is all the smileys we have to play with!

The conversations give h2g2 a sense of community, here are some things that also make it special:
Researchers Birthdays Page - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A293195
The ACEs Homepage - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/ACES
Ask the Community - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/askh2g2
Don't Panic (The help pages!) - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/dontpanic

Guide Entries are the source from which conversations flow. They can be about anything at all, in many ways your space is a guide entry.
They can be written in either plain text or GuideML. More about this here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/GuideML-Clinic
To distinguish between entries which are merely for fun and ones which are informative about a given subject, a system of reviewing exists. Please join in here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/PeerReview

Have no fear moderation's here

The BBC are a little sensitive about mentioning specific brands, but as you've mentioned more than one I'm sure that'll be fine

If you love like I do, you should join the Chocolate Lover's Fan Club - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A424522

Automated? Me? Never!
I'm sure some other people will come along soon...

If there's anything else you want to know, just ask!
