Hi,
just a few questions. What is the journal entries normaly used for. have taken a little peak around and havent seen much use of the feature.
How long does it take to get used to the guideML?
How do people put their own pictures (not just the ones h2g2 offers) on their page?

Sorry to pester you about this...
Later,
Duffey

That's my job
Some researchers use their journal regularly, some of them never.
I think it depends on your experience with HTML and so on how long it takes.
It's not possible to add external pictures.

I havent changed much, but I think I am figuring things out here! Thanks...

(is it too early to have developed an adiction?)

No - h2g2 addiction is often instant.
I spotted you out of the Online list due to your name, which is a touch similar to mine. That's fine - there's more than enough room for the both of us!

Whoami?

Sorry Whoami. I didnt mean to step on your toes or anything!

Don't worry - I wasn't complaining or anything!
What have you been up to on h2g2 recently?

Whoami?

I have just been poking around a little. Its only been about three weeks since I found h2g2. I like it here!! I have been reading some of the guide entries and have posted to a few conversations.

I'm glad you like it! Which Edited Guide Entries have you read so far?
Have you checked out <./>ThePost</.>?

Whoami?

I only briefly looked at the post once. I have stumbeled on some deep poetry that I liked. I like to travel a lot so I have been digging through entries on places and things to do! I'll check the post out in more detail later today! Then there are interesting conversations..... There is just so much involvement in this online community!

Well, you seem to be enjoying yourself! How did you stumble upon h2g2, anyhow?

Whoami?

I just happened to pick up a copy of the salmon of doubt at a book store. I read about this site and thought I might have to check it out sometime. So I did. Now here I am.

That's a nice way to do it. Me, I stumbled upon it in a Google search for assignment reference material...

Whoami?

What reffrence were you looking for that you found this site in a search? I loved the Hitchhiker trilogy. I read them all several times. When I saw the salmon of doubt in barns and noble I just had to get it. Were you a Douglas Adams fan to boot? I would imagine just about everyone here is, but it dosnt seem to be a direct stipulation of the group.

I was searching for information for a science prep - I forget what (it was over a year ago!)

Whoami?

You must just be a gifted internet surfer... I have looked for research materieal on the net and found lots of stuf, but nothing cool like this site.

Nah - it just showed up on Google!

Whoami?

I have an instructor who suggested using Dogpile for searching for class related work. His exact words were "It might sound like a bunch of crap, but it turns up some great results."
