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

Hi Zaphod!

I'm Jonny, and I'm an ACE here at h2g2. <./>ACEs</.> have the job of looking for people on h2g2 and officially welcoming you to this incredibly big, fun and addictive website!

To help get you started, I've compiled a page of links at A599330.
Or alternatively there's The Post Page of Useful Links at A616718 - <./>ThePost</.> is our weekly newspaper.

You can add your own entries by clicking on the "Add new entry" link from your space. h2g2 entries can be written in plain text or using GuideML, which you can find out more about at the <./>GuideML-Clinic</.>.

Attached to each entry is a conversation forum, here you can talk to people about the entry, and make friends .
One of the busiest forums is <./>Askh2g2</.> where you can ask anything you want!

If you want to know how to do smileys, you can find out by clicking on this one (or any of them!).

If you have any questions/comments about h2g2, or just want a chat, click reply and I'll see it later.

Don't Panic,

Jonny

Well, what do ya know I am. I'm Zaphod Beeblebrox the IV, winner of the last contest. By default, mind you, cause no one else entered
Thanks for the invite.

Stay Hoopy,
Zaph

Thanks for the offer Jonny, actually I already have a question. How do you enter spaces between lines useing guideML? It's really great how helpful and friendly people are here.

Stay Hoopy,
Zaph

There are two ways of doing that, you can start a new paragraph:
This is the first paragraph.
This is the second.

Or you could do this:
This is the first bit of text.

This is the second line

If you've ever used HTML you'll have used as a line break. But GuideML is much stricter and wants the tag to be closed. with the / at the end:

Actually one of the reasons I came over to your page was because of the Beeblebear reference, because I'm another member of ZZ9 too!
I've not bought a beeblebear yet though, but I'm very proud of my Don't Panic and "I believe in..." T-shirts!

Jonny

Hells Bells! The exact shirts I own!
There's a prog called GuidePost written by MaW which'll help you with the coding

http://www.alledora.co.uk/guidepost/

Yes, I'd definately recommend that program for getting used to GuideML. If you look around h2g2 long enough you'll discover that I'm attempting to write a WYSIWYG program. But it's not exactly progressing brilliantly! AS levels got in the way a bit.

Actually I think I've seen a meetup picture of you Tube, wearing the "I believe..." T-shirt. (There's a better name for that T-shirt, is it Krikkit?)

Only one? That's good because there are one or two about where I look really !

Yeah, that's me in the t-shirt and I think it's called the Krikkt(-war?) t-shirt.

I bought my friend one for christmas and he really likes it because he can show a caring side and then turn round to proove he isn't soppy!
