You may find 'Hints and Links for New Researchers' - A719840 useful

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. But before you can use that you need to activate your page by using this short cut <./>UserEdit?masthead=1</.> or clicking ‘Edit Page’ on your page.

Like most communities we have Clubs & Societies You can find out about these - A660340 We even have our own newspaper known as <./>ThePost</.>

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

Emmily

Thanks for the welcome wagon... Now a question: Are the two "m"s in Emmily really the way you write your name or is that personal preference? I always find the way people spell their names interesting. For example, Ashlee or Ashley. Or even regionally where Thomas is spelled with an 'h' in America, France, Britain, but in Spain is spelled without the 'h' (Tomas).

Nice to hear from you Supreme Earthworm

I've been asked quite a few times about the spelling of my name, put simply it's a spelling error

I chose Emmily, because I liked the name, and as Emma is spelt with 2 'm's I wrongly assumed that Emmily was spelt with 2'm's too

I never changed it, once I realised my mistake, it makes my name, sorta unique for instasnce if you type Emmily in h2g2 'Search for a Friend' search engine, you'll get 3 Emmily's all my accounts but if you type in Emily you get loads of Emily's but, there's only one Emmily

Emmily

Same here, they'll only be on SupremeEarthworm! I came up with the sn myself, actually came up with it as a result of sns like GrandMoff, PKCommander, IFAdmiral, all of which are ranks from scifi shows, movies, and books. I'm a little bit of a meglomania. So one day when I was walking with my friend, whom I met online, I said, "I am a supreme earthworm" and it stuck.

Unique sns are so hard to find these days...

Yep, I reckon your pretty safe that they'll only be one Surpreme Earthworm
