h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello christopherpthomas, and a big hoopy welcome to h2g2, the Earth edition of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! I'm fords, one of the Assistant Community Editors (ACE) and I'm your offical welcomer. So pull up a chair and sip on your Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster while I let you in on the weird and wonderful world of 'hootoo'

Now, one of the first things you'll want to do is to change your user name from your Researcher number (your unique ID). Simply click Preferences on the menu tab and invent away - but keep it clean! Your User Space is next - this is your 'home' on h2g2 where you get to tell people about yourself by either using plain text or Guide ML - the Guide's very own markup language.

Maybe I'm just lazy, but I hate bombarding people with too much information in one go so I have compiled a page of useful information at A811874 for you to peruse at your own leisure, which I hope you find to be of some use to you. But if you do have any more questions/queries, - simply click Reply at the bottom of this message or click on my user name to leave a message on my Personal Space and I'll be more than happy to help

Above all, enjoy the site - Share and Enjoy!

Thank you very much indeed! Even though it's most likely a form letter, it's still a very nice touch having a 'personal' welcome! Especially since I've just seen your posts in the HHG movie conversation. Now, all I need to do is work out how to put links to guide entries, I'll be happy.

Sorry I've taken so long to get back to you, I've been netless since Friday !

I am indeed a real person, so your welcome wasn't a robot or anything Now, how are you getting on with the site? Any probs? Still need help with getting links to work in Guide entries?

Thanks Fords!

Again, sorry it's been so long for me to get back to YOU! I was on holiday in the Norfolk Broads last week. I might write an article about it!

That's alright Have a good holiday? One of my friends has been on holiday down that way and really enjoyed himself. It's a nice part of England, so I hear

Absolutely brilliant thanks! It was really hot last week, and I think we were really lucky with the weather, considering all the rain so far this week.

This was probably the most impressive thing I saw:
