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

Hi Belana, Thanks for the intro. I stumbled into the site without realising what it was and started leaving messages which probably weren't that relevant to the subject...

I would like to contribute, I was thinking something like, the stuff they don't tell you about watercolours. I've read a lot of 'how to' books and they're all the same and none of them explain things beginners really need to know, like why you shouldn't mix a staining colour with a granulating colour.

I need to look around the site and have a good think about it.

Alan. (I don't think I want to be TellingBone, it's the stupid name I use when I'm airing my views on haveyoursay).

Hi Alan, that sounds interesting.

You can change your username by clicking on the 'My Preferences' link in the left side bar.

Thanks. Will that also change my login/username on haveyoursay (the BBC's readers' letters pages)?

I'm not sure. Is this account a new account which you created? I guess in that case your username for the other message boards would remain. I'm not sure, though, so you would have to try it out. You can always change it back if it doesn't work the way you want.

Your login name can't be changed, so if it is identical with your username, you should consider changing it anyway.
