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

Hi there, and welcome to h2g2!
I am Roadkill, and I'm an ACE (Assistant Community Editor). This means that I'm here to help. If there's something you're puzzled about , don't hesitate to ask me or one of my fellow ACEs.

You may want to change your nickname- numbers are a little hard to remember and slightly impersonal. To do that, click on the “Preferences” Button. If you are using Classic Goo, it is on the left hand side nestling in the Goo. If you are using Alabaster, it is at the top of the screen in the toolbar. And if you are using Brunel, it is on the left hand side again, written in yellow italics.

And so we come to the links. These are to help you find your feet, and jump start you into the community .

The smileys: These are the cute little yellow things that are liberally dotted around the screen . These can all be found at <./>Smiley</.> or by clicking on whichever smiley you want to learn how to do.

The H2G2 Post have made a nice little links page for those of us that don't carry them around in our heads . You can find it at A616718 .

For a longer welcome, go to the Welcome that the nice people (usually called the Italics, as their names appear in italics in the who's <./>online</.> menu) who keep the site running have written at <./>Welcome-Newcomers</.>
it's got a lot of the basic background and how-tos that you will need - a good place to start

Then you can take the H2G2 Tour at A317459 to see how it all works.

If some of the H2G2 terms leave you a little confused, there is a great page about it at A632431.

To supplement this, Feisor has made a new users page at A719840

Oh, and also: Don't Panic. If you do, then go to <./>DontPanic</.> for all your FAQ needs.

Hope to see you around, bye for now, and if you need anything, ask.
Roadkill.
