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

Hi there! Im an ACE (assistant community editor) and its our job to help new comers find their feet so if you need to ask something fire away! I see you've already found out how to change your name so i dont have to explain that, its better being a name and not a number!

The "Italics" (they are the people who run this place - so-called because their names are displayed in bold italics - God Bless 'Em) have left a message for newcomers at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Welcome-Newcomers
it's got a lot of the basic background and how-tos that you will need - a good place to start

And the editors of our own newspaper The H2G2 Post have made up a page of links - you can find it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A616718 and then you can read The Post

You can probably find a club or society for whatever your into somewhere in the guide - just look hard enough (or ask if you need to).

You want to use the proper format when you write in the guide check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/GuideML-Clinic. You can do quite a lot with GuideML.

Hello Mystical Fish, and thank you for the welcome and the info! I am in fact not a newcomer ... I've been around here for a year already, and I have three other Userspaces here already: The Unmentionable Marauding Pillowcase, The Return of The Unmentionable Marauding Pillowcase, and Einauni Muznobotti! This is a new account I set up, which allows me to access h2g2 from the University of the North, which is where I'll be spending time regularly from now on. But anyways, you did your job, and very professionally and promptly too!

Well us ACE's aim to please!
