hi im finding my way round a little and i had a look at the smilelys but dont know how to use them? im finding it all very puzzling at mo! people are being nice and helpful their just seems so much to take in! thank you for offering help .

If yoou click on one of the smileys it will take you to a page that explains all about them

and the link I left takes you slowly through a lot of h2g2 info - and remember ... if you need help - just ask

Have fun

hi how are you? ive tried inserting smileys and pictures but they dont seem to be working, not sure what im doing wrong!! plz help! xxsarah

To put smileys in your space the format is <SMILEY TYPE="biggrin"/> but make sure that you have checked the "change style" button at the bottom of the edit window - it should be GuideML.

Here's a good hint - If you see something you like you can see how it's done by typing http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/testuserpageXXXXX where XXX is the user number, for instance to view the code for my page type http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/testuserpage38014 - it's probably nice if you ask before "pinching" code but you can have anything off my page without asking

To post smileys in conversations the format is < laugh > (without the spaces - you can print all the smileys from the smileys page into a word doc and keep it as a reference - that's what I did to start.

Hope this helps - if not just yell
