... and welcome to the wonderful world of h2g2. The Phillipines eh - and into broadcast journalism! Well you've certainly landed at the correct place. smiley - smiley

First, let us sort out a proper welcome for you... so that you aren't cast adrift in this wonderful world of h2g2 without a paddle.

I am one of the ACES... a group specifically set up to welcome all newcomers here and help if help is needed. I am happy to answer any questions you may have but I do have to sleep sometimes so, if I am not about, then drop by the <./>ACES</.> homepage if you need further help.

You will find lots of variety contained within the Guide. Why not start by checking out the welcoming page:
<./>Welcome-Newcomers</.> which introduces you to h2g2 and tells you all about the site. smiley - smiley

You may want to plunge straight in to writing articles for the Guide (especially if you like journalism) - if so, you should read the guidelines which can be found at Writing-Guidelines The Guide was originally set up to create just that - a guide to life, the universe and everything, although the community side is just as valid.

If you want to learn how to customise your page, then probably the best place to visit is the <./>GuideML-Clinic</.>. Here you can find out how to link to pictures, use different colours and generally make your page attractive.

Smileys are a must! Check them out here <./>Smiley</.> or just click on one to see its name or go directly to their home. smiley - smiley

A hotbed of activity is the 'Ask' forum at A148907 where you can quiz other members on just about any topic or join in various games. If you are looking for a specific group, however, then pop over to A660304 which has links to all kinds of clubs and groups - who knows, you may find a long lost friend! smiley - smiley

Whatever you decide to do... have fun, enjoy the site and do please drop by anytime for a chat! (You can do this by just clicking on my name and magically be teleported to my home page!)

I think that I have covered just about all you need to know to start with, but there is so much more to h2g2 than that. You can chose to go straight for contributing to the 'official' guide and write informative entries or you can plunge into the community or you can do both! Either way you are welcome. As an aside I am the editor of the community weekly paper <./>thepost</.>. Yet another facet of this wonderful place. smiley - smiley

Hi again Ged *waves to Feisor* smiley - smiley

Yes, 'shazz' is fine. smiley - ok

If you really want to know more about h2g2 then probably the best place to start is with our founders page at U42. Sadly Douglas Adams died in 2001 but his ideas live on.

The 'All about h2g2' Archive of <./>ThePost</.> also has lots of useful background pieces. You can find this at A2279081.

If you need any more help then please do ask myself of Feisor or drop by the Aces homepage. Replies may take a little while as h2g2 is not a chat site but someone will turn up eventually. smiley - smiley
