*walks in with a box of s and makes herself comfortable*

Nice to meet you Starlet How are you finding h2g2 so far? I notice that you've been visited by Shorty who's given you some useful links to help you start exploring the guide so I won't overwhelm you with even more. possibility of information overload I've just popped by to say 'hi' and 'welcome', oh and to give you some s of course.

Hi, Im not totally sure wot to put here. My mate Laura registered me coz im a hhg2tg freak. But, the site was cool, so I decided to discover by taking part what it was all about. Can u help? Oh and thanks for the donuts... Starlet

I think everyone feels a bit overwhelmed by this place when they first start, I know I did. It took me months until I found the courage to join in busy conversations. Just remember DON'T PANIC!

My advice is to have a look around to get a feel of the place and join in some conversations to meet people. If you are wondering where to start exploring, check out the Welcome page at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Welcome if you haven't already, and The H2G2 Post, h2g2's own surperb newspaper, has a page of useful and interesting links at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A616718 Another good way to get a feel of the community is to look at other researchers' personal spaces. If you click on the 'Who's Online' button you can click on any of the researchers' names and visit their space.

Hope this helps a bit. Feel free to ask for help any time you need it, that's what the h2g2 volunteers are for
