Thank You. Although I'm happy to have joined I'm a bit nervous I'm going to have a look round, and when I get an idea or some inspiration from something, I'll start writing

Don't be nervous, it's a friendly site, feel free to join in any conversation you wish. If you're looking for inspiration for article writing, then I suggest you have a look at Challengeh2g2 . There's no rush though, and many people don't write any entries at all. Posting in <./>peerreview</.> in itself is very helpful, and will give you a feel of what writing style to use.

Ok, thanks!

Another thing that a lot of people do is subscribe to <./>askh2g2</.>. It's the site's busiest forum and conversations there range from serious debate to 'what underwear are you wearing right now?'.

If there's something you're not sure about, or there's a topic you're looking for or the such like and want a link, don't hesitate to ask.

I just wrote an entry about nits...

I'll give it a read
