Hi najaman Welcome to h2g2

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

You can click on any of the links

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 (ah, there's the mice ) 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

HELLOOO EMILY!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's true! I'm a kidnap victim - couple of Vogons I, er, tried to sell some land to... seems they were under the mistaken impression that I said 'beachfront' when I distinctly remember saying, 'marsh land.' Even in Beta Hyper Alphan, there's little chance of mixing the one up with the other. But we all know Vogons, right?

Heh heh.

Harrummph.

Anyway, thank you very much for taking the time out to send me your lovely missive, I'm sure it will help no end in unravelling this spaghetti-like conundrum that is the H2G2.

(However, part of the fun, I suspect, is trying to figure out what the heck is going on, n'est pas?)

-------------------------------------

I look forward to hearing from you again. I generally log into the internet once a week at least.

Ciao, and safe hiking in the meantime.

Nice to hear from you naijaman

I hope you've managed to escape from your kidnappers, I can understand their annoyance if they turned up with their buckets and spades expecting a beach

h2g2 is a huge site, there's loads you can have fun finding

Have fun but, if you get stuck, give me a shout

Emmily
