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

Hello Elrond and welcome to h2g2

I am 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.

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.

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

If you are wondering how to make the smiley pictures like then click on <./>Smiley</.> which will take you to a page which shows all the smileys.

If you are feeling a bit lost then 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

Hope that answers any queries you have for the moment.

Tonto

Thanks for the welcome, Tonto.
I *think* I should settle in OK. Though I doubt I'll be a high-intensity contributor like some I've seen, I do intend to stick around.

I have a list of things-to-do both here and in RL, and hope to slowly work my way through them.

No problem,

If you get stuck, give me a shout

"Even so < <./>Welcome</.> > back "

Thank you.
I'm only around intermittently. I do lurk more than post. Some conversations move so fast it is hard to jump back in after being away for even a few days.

"Some conversations are hard to follow if you come back every five minutes.

Had one last night, every time I finished reading I noticed there were more new posts then when I started reading . Does not matter really we are all used to the time lapse between postings and most are used to anticipate any posting in the sequence to be a reply on one of the first page. The art is to pick up both the general topic as well as the current topic drift in the same reply . "
