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

Hello, and how are you?

If I may be so bold as to march into your personal space and request a pick of your brain.

Im trying to put links for an external website (or 2) into a guide entry and can't work out how to do it, Ive had a search to see if there is an entry on this and haven't found it, although I am on digibox and it takes forever so Im coming to someone who I know is the brains of h2!!

If you know of the entry in which this info can be found could you possibly let me know, or tell me the tag I will need please?

If none of that made any sense (as I dont often make sense to sensible people, what Im trying to do is at the bottom of this page A2105254 )

Thanks again Mort.

Willow

Hi willow,

Well after such a nice request, how could I possibly refuse

A957369 has all the codes and info.

But it basically is...


Morts Website

name of link on h2g2

The title bit just means that it won't show a long URL in the RHS of your page, (list of your external links box) you can leave it out ie

Morts Website

but it means it will widen your page.



Hope that helps

Mort

you're an absolute , I knew I could count on you to enlighten my world!



Will

Aww thankyou

It is always nice when someone says things like that.

Makes me feel glad to be an ACE



Mort

No problem. I think thats the second or third time you've come up trumps for me when I was sat scratching me head in confusion!

So Mort, how is life treating you these days?

Will

I am not too bad at the moment thanks. I must have spilt something sticky on my keyboard though - yuk. Guess i will have to unplug it at some point and give it a clean with an old toothbrush and a cloth.

I had a sudden spurt of inspiration and strated to write some guide entries. Although, my enthusiasm fades every so often and i wish i hadn't bothered!

Bit sad tonight as my cat is a bit sick again. He was very poorly last week and i hope it isn't coming back again. Hopefully it will be just a blip.

Other than that FREEZING!!!

How are you? Keeping out of trouble I hope

I often have to feeling Ive spilt something sticky on the keyboard. It usually turns out that Ive been eating too much chocolate and its my fingers that are sticky!

Thats the thing with guide entries, they're a great idea when you start but by the time you've got to the end, you know there'll be an error and you just can't be bothered! I've done so many I can't think of anything else I enjoy less now!

I hope your cat's ok, its horrid when they're ill, they look so forlorn and rejected!

Me, in trouble??? How do you know me so well?
Im ok, had a day of the giggles at the craziest things and my parrot ate the buttons on the tv remote. Im currently comtemplating a deep and meaningful journal entry but I have no idea on what!

I just wish it'd snow, it has to get a bit warmer then!!

Will

What kind of parrot do you have? They are fantastically intelligent creatures.

I hate little flappy birds like budgies, but after working with the bigger birds - parrots and cockatoo's etc, I changed my view on birds. However, anything smaller than and including cockatiels still give me the creeps!

Sam is a cockatoo (titan), and I do keep telling him he's meant to be intelligent but I dont think he understands. He had a tough start and still tries to think he's the boss but he's slowly getting better.

I also have a cockatiel. I hated birds until I got Squonk (cockatiel) I just never saw the point in them. But Squonk is lovely, he used to chase my hand when I was cleaning the aviary where I used to work. He's so cute that I changed my opinion on birds!

I have to admit, I love all animals, with the exception of spiders, there is absolutely no need for any creature to have that many legs!!

I got bitten on both thumbs by a cockatiel - it bit one and then the other! Ouch - blood dripped everywhere - they have very sharp beaks!

Cockatoo's are a bit potty! And the scream they have

We used to have one that came into stay at work alot and was very overbonded with her owner. She was neurotic - and so was the bird! She used to love stealing things - we couldn't leave anything near her cage or it would get secretly taken. We would watch her do it and she would keep looking at us to see if we noticed! Hilarious game, as at the last minute we whipped it off her! When she wasn't getting attention she used to run around in a circle screaming until someone came to talk to her!

Why do cocaktiels do that? They never actually bite the thumb itself, its always right down the edge of the nail!! OUCH!!!!!
It just seems to be the smaller birds, at least parrots have the decency to break a knuckle/finger!

I could live quite cheerfully without Sam having a screaming session!! It's not like he doesn't get enough attention, Im here with him all day and he's out stealing stuff. He currently has a thing for remote controls, it was keys before that, so who knows whats next!?

You're a vetinary nurse, right? Was that you're page or am I just mad?

Well, you are totally mad, but yep - i am a veterinary nurse

See, you know me already! Madness comes as standard!

Bet thats fun though, I mean, as jobs go, there has to be worse!?
