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

hi again,sorry i was on wrong section,im still a novice,

by the way where in yorkshire are you.

i can,t make head or tail of the pics,i wanted to put the whirly chichen and the red car on my intro,but didnt work typing it in.jim

ps,ive been to the library and got pages and pages of web sites
to try on the emails if any work
as click will send to you.

No worries, we were all new once. I'm in Barnsley, wayyyyyy!

I think I know the piccys you mean have you got the coding written down for them?

I think the only links that have a chance of working are if they appear on TW's interactive menu's, and most of them are rubbish

I'll just have a quick look at your space, so I can see what you've done

Are you still here Jim?

i went off had company,and watching the nednose academy,
RUBY,what a set up lol jim

i was in barnsley about 7 months back(had a day out)and bought a coat from the stalls in the market across from the station.

i wrote the section.



BUT IT DIDNT WORK.

Yep, there's a couple of errors, have you changed over to GuideML yet?

It should look like:

morning(sorry you didnt say what your name was)

i tryed clicking the guideml on the bottom instead of plain.

but keep getting(in red)
invalid message)so its was back to plain.i change the top intro
and still no go,what am i doing wrong.(are you anywhere nr cudworth,i have a frend as relations there jim

Hi Jim

Not near Cudworth no, I'm from there

The reason you keep getting errors is because you need to change your smileys to GuideML too...
So instead of < disco>, you have to change them to <SMILEY TYPE="disco"/>

Also you need to add tags at the start of every paragraph and tags at the end...

When you have a bit of time, we'll go through it

nothing seems to want to work(

the CENTER,FOR EXAMPLE,are the '
single or "doubles either side of the word.

i changed the dicso.s as you said but still ivalid top of page,message.i cant remember my
password or you could have done the intro for me.and i could have seen how it works jim

In the codes it's " but it doesn't seem to matter, works with both, AFAIK.

You could be getting errors for numerous things... if you'd rather I started it off, then you could email the BBC to send your p/w to you, the email address is on the LogIn page.

hi kow
i cant click the (barsnley)smiley you left(it knocks my digydox off,

i was out yesterday afternoon,and watching the nednose till 2am.sorry about late reply.

ive studied the page and if im not wrong(because ive used the forum smileys all the way down could this been the prob i can guideml.

let me know then i can change them all to guideml.

is it possible to send the setup
format for the pics on email.

if it is send me the setup for the redcar and ezpass one jim.

[email protected]
wait for reply and,or email.

Hi Jim

Sorry about the late reply, the message seems to have got lost in the backlog

How are you getting on with changing your space over?

i saw what you mean,i took a look at you space,how do you keep track of them all.

i have done (all the smileys)when i did them,in the forum style,is this where im going wrong,as i said in my last reply,i didnt want to change them until i was sure thats the prob,(i also left my spare email address so if you wanted to make things simpler you could email the layout to do the pictures(once ive got into guideml)on cable(even if the picture came on,or some of the text was missing,all i would need to do is put the email on forward and the whole text will appear again,jim

Hmmm... I see what you mean... but the codes are in the picture library and you could just get them when you're ready for them.

I could go through GuideML with you if that would be easier, once you've got the basics in then the rest is a doddle

sorry late reply just had to wait for box to reboot,i clicked
the symbol you ended with again.
it knocked my box off.

whats stage one of guideml.

i,ll try to grasp it as best i can

Are you using the plain skin Jim?
It's the grey background colour?

you mean black on white yes

Hmmm... no I meant grey, it seems you're using Alabaster, not very goood for your digibox.
