Well, the site specific things are server problems, of which we've had quite a lot recently. So in case you get error messages when trying to access a page, don't despair, hootoo will be back at some point.
Other aspects are, that this is not a chatroom, so replies to anything you post may take a while.
The guide is about writing entries , which will be published on the Front Page once they've got the approval of the people in Peer Review, a scout and the Italics ( the in house team). There are quite a lot of entries about WWII airplanes which have featured the Front Page only recently, I'll get you the links
