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

Hi Nathan Hogg, Welcome to h2g2

I'm Emmily one of the many <./>ACEs</.> (Assistant Community Editors) We're here to offer you a warm welcome advice & links to help you find your way around

I'm a real person not an automated computer programme to find out about me click on my name above this conversation thread you can do that on anyone's name in any conversation thread

Have a & some or and put your feet up relax & let your fingers do the walking

You can click on any of the links below

You can click <./>userdetails</.> or 'Preferences' on the screen to change your number to a name or to change the skin (background) there are 3 to choose from brunel alabaster or classic goo you might like to experiment a bit see which one you prefer to use

You might like to hitch a ride on our <./>DontPanic-Tour</.>

These are just a few of the great list of <./>Smileys</.> you can choose from

The slang used here can be a bit confusing h2Jargon - A632431 or h2g2 Glossary - A901829 explains most of it

You can customise your space using what is available through h2g2 Spicing up Your Page - A690518 gives some good advice I'm also a Guru so I can help with any GuideML problems you may have

You may find 'Hints and Links for New Researchers' - A719840 useful

Like most communities we have Clubs & Societies You can find out about these - A660340

If your interested in writing for the Guide Writing-Guidelines is a good place to start

You can click this link <./>RandomEditedEntry</.> Though where it goes nobody knows

Another couple of things we have a tag which displays the name of the researcher visiting the page so don't be concerned if you see your name on someone's space that researcher is just using tag some of them are quite amusing but harmless

And the 'eyes' next to a researchers name show they are online

Hope you find these helpful & you enjoy yourself here to reply to this post If you have any questions or if you just want to say 'hi' click 'reply' below

Hi!
Blimey guv, that was quick! Thanks for all the info...
(By the way - my grandma says "blimey", so I hope it's not on the "offensive language" list...)

Paul

Nice to hear from you Paul

Blimey is ok, if your grandma says is must be ok.

Hope your finding lots of things to interest you here, if you need any help, don't hesitate to ask, I'll be happy to help.

Emmily

Hi again

The random entry was about somewhere in Wales... slightly surreal if you ask me

Cheers

Nathan

what a coincidence. I just clicked on it I got: Neil Young - The Musician. The great thing about that link is it can be clicked again and again, with so many Edited Entries on every possible subject you never know what you'll be reading about next.
