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

I may well bore you with this, or even explode your brain but I thought I'd give a go at explaining a little about Guide ML to you.

In Guide ML everything has an opening tag and a closeing Tag (there are a few exceptions)

So for instance if you want to write a paragragh you would use the paragraph tags = opening tag = closing tag, so your paragragh would look like the one below


Black Raven is from South Africa he is a model, he is very brave and fights snakes in his spare time. He mostly prefers to surf though as one runs the risk of getting bitten when one choses to fight snakes

Now if you wanted to put that paragraph on your personal space you would first have to go into edit, scroll down your page and click on the Guide ML radio button with me so far?

Now doing this should automatacally put in the guide and body tags



the above tags go at the start of your document



the above tags go at the end

so with the paragraph about snakes included your page would look like this:



Black Raven is from South Africa he is a model, he is very brave and fights snakes in his spare time. He mostly prefers to surf though as one runs the risk of getting bitten when one choses to fight snakes



Let me know if all that makes sense

and I'll tell you how to do other things

oh you could always copy and paste this bit:



Black Raven is from South Africa he is a model, he is very brave and fights snakes in his spare time. He mostly prefers to surf though as one runs the risk of getting bitten when one choses to fight snakes




to see how it works in your personal space

!!!

And talking of snakes, I found a scorpion under my couch yesterday evening...

Welcome to the jungle...

now you see the good side of living in rainy old England

we can put smiley's in that paragraph for you too, like this:



Black Raven is from South Africa he is a model<SMILEY TYPE="cool"/>, he is very brave and fights snakes in his spare time<SMILEY TYPE="yikes"/>. He mostly prefers to surf <SMILEY TYPE="surfer"/> though as one runs the risk of getting bitten when one choses to fight snakes

Ok, I'll put that on my page.
The smiley is adorable!!!

And the only reason the scorpion came in was because of the rain......So you say "rainy old England", eh?

well we don't get scorpians apart from the star sigh type

Lucky you!

What song is that line from?
It's giving me a bad mental image of a tongue standing in a graveyard with a shovel...

It's from Hands Open, by Snow Patrol

That better?

Much better, thank you!

I love their song "You're all I have".

I was called this morning by a record company - they want me to host an interview with one of their main bands...PRIME CIRCLE!!!
Just so happens that they are one of my favourie bands ever! They're ugly though, but there music is amazing! And his voice!

I like that one too

I've not heard of prime circle though

And on the top right you can select a song to read their lyrics and hit play to hear a bit of it.
My favourites on that list are "Miss You" and "Always Surrounded".
What do you think?

not bad

I like always surrounded too

That's from their second CD.
Their first one was just as good.

See, I got good taste.

well it's a good job one of us has

So what type of music are you into?

Well I like most things really

I particually like The Red Hot Chili Peppers and U2

but I also listen to Snow patrol, the Kooks, Savage Garden, My chemical Romance, Muse, sterophonics, but as I say I do like quite a wide range of stuff

I only like some of U2... but RHCP are good, yeah.
Never heard of the Kooks in my life before...

Pity you're not online now...

BOO!!!!!!!!!!


I am!!!!!!!

YAY!!!
What've you been up to?
