hey, this place so far has been awsome with information and probobly been the most fun i have had on the computer in a while, but i still dont have the totall scope of what this website is all about, so maybe you could help me with that, but i have a bit of a hangover and i am going to eat breakfast otherwise i would write a little more, so i will save that for later.

Ok, this site is about writing entries for the edited guide ( the entries you can read when you visit the <./>frontpage</.>
Nobody expects a newbie to write an entry right away, though, so to get a feeling for the site, there are different forums where people discuss life, the universe and everything, you can write your own journal on your personal space, get involved in <./>peerreview</.> where the edited entries to be are discussed and improved, or write and read for the <./>writing-alternative</.> or <./>thepost</.> and much more.
You can start by writing a brief or not so brief introduction on your personal space: just click on the 'edit page' link on your space and bingo: you can start writing
