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

Hi there,

As I mentioned in the square roots thread, and ACE will be along shortly with loads of tips that will be, unlike mine, written clearly and coherently

But whilst I'm here, I'll explain what I meant a bit more clearly (hopefully) ...

You and I have been posting to a conversation attached to the *draft* entry, not the *Edited Guide* entry

The Edited Guide version currently has two conversations (also known as *threads*) attached to it:

The little graphics are great! (Last Posting: 2 Weeks Ago)
and
Wow! (Last Posting: 2 Weeks Ago)


To start a new thread:
======================
Click on a link called either *Start a new conversation* or *Discuss this entry*, depending upon which skin you are using (The ACESs will tell you about these)

Enter a suitable *Subject Line*, in this case something like *Another way*

Type in your method as you did before

When you have become more familiar with how this site works, you might want to write up your method as a new entry

To create a new entry:
======================

Go to your personal space

Click on the *Create New Entry* or *Click here to add a new Guide Entry* or *Add Guide Entry* link

Enter a suitable *Title of Entry* or *Subject Line*

Type your stuff in the *Body of Entry* or *Content* window

You can write an entry in *Plain Text* or *<./>GuideML</.>*, which is quite like HTML and XML etc

Use the *Preview* button to see how it all looks

If all this sounds too much, then forget lots or even all of it and just have fun exploring

An ACE will be along very soon and they have a knack for giving clear instructions, unlike me I'm afraid
