Hi from your Ace!

Robert

Hello and welcome to h2g2!

I'm one of the site's Aces, and it is my job to meet and greet new researchers and make sure that they are OK and can find their way around the site. To help you, I've compiled a list of some useful pages that you might want to surf through. Have fun!

smiley - star A page well worth looking at is the <./>Welcome</.> page. Here you can find out some general information about the guide and links to help pages.

smiley - star May I also suggest visiting the <./>GuideML-Clinic</.>? GuideML is the computer language that h2g2 uses, and this page will help you to fill your user space with all sorts of neat stuff. Getting to know GuideML is worthwhile, as any Guide entries that you make should be coded in this language.

smiley - star If you are wondering how to make the smiley pictures like smiley - smiley then click on <./>Smiley</.> which will take you to a page which shows all of the smileys. You can also click on smilies in conversations (like this one) to see what they mean.

smiley - star Are you feeling a bit lost? Clicking on <./>DontPanic</.> will take you to the help pages, or feel free to ask me by clicking on the reply button below, and I will do as much as I can to help.

smiley - star The <./>Contribute</.> page will tell you ways to add an entry to the guide, how to write an effective entry, how to become a volunteer (like me), and much more!

There are many other places to go on h2g2 - after all, this is a Guide to the Galaxy! If you need help about anything, want to know some good things to read, would like some information, etc., just drop me a line by replying to this message, or contacting me on my Personal Page! I'm an official Guru, which means that the Italics (the nickname for the bosses of the site) have decided that I'm particularly good at answering questions, so fire away!

If you do write anything here, my Personal Space will be updated, telling me about it, so I'll be able to come running the next time I'm online smiley - smiley

Hopefully, I'll see you around!

Robert

Thank you, Mr. Robert. Most welcoming. =] So you're in California? I just got done being there for the summer. Are you acquainted with Lodi? I'm not acquainted with Liverpool, unfortunately. =]

Hi demazed!

I have a suggestion.

I really like your homepage, but it's difficult to read (at least using the Classic Goo background).

You can shorten your subject, then add the quotes to the first line of your article. The header for the subject does not text-wrap aroudn the screen, but the article will. So to shorten your subject will make it easier to read your page, because it will fit on the width of one screen.

If you want to use the GuideML to write your home page, I can help you put the Quote in bold, in a header, or in a blockquote. . .

Just tryin to help!

I'm one of the Guardian angels and we fly around helping folks get used to H2G2.

You can check out my page if you like, by clicking on my name above this message.

I hope YOU think that looks better too!

If you want to use the GuideML (there's a little box at the bottom of the entry to click to use it), I can help you to format your page to HIGHLIGHT the quotes, it's pretty easy, but sometimes it's not worth the effort. Just let me know, we're here to help!

Thank you very much for your offer. =] (I feel so welcomed!) I think I'm getting a hang of what I need, though. I used html a VERY little in another instance that required a homepage and I've been reading a book on it so this isn't too far a leap. =] Have a lovely day!

Refer to the GuideML clinic too. It's really easy to use, you sholdn't have too much difficulty. If you run into a snag let me know.
