Zach, love the new home page. Very useful to the new folk, and even to us semi-oldtimers. I especially like the advice about posting new information to an existing guide entry, rather than submitting a duplicate. I'm still waiting to have something accepted that I sent through the approval process.....however, I added a bunch of stuff to a short guide entry on mst3k (it actually was in the process of being edited by the dancing tree), and just like that, no more waiting smiley - smiley

Makes me feel silly - I should have thought of that sooner

Well we're going through the submitted guide entries numerically. That was just probably a happy coincidence, that a Sub was working on the entry about the same time you updated it. However, it is overall useful if we try to focus the information on various topics where there's already a place for that topic, in those situations where that applies.

Can you tell I'm out of coffee? smiley - smiley

I've decided to regularly update my user page with new stuff, but the old information you're referring to is still available. I'll try to save all the new stuff I put in the user page on linked guide entries.

And of course I'm still editing guide entries as they're sent to me, and writing new guide entries for later submission as well. I'm just such a busy little beaver. LOL!

I closed my eyes, and the world turned around again......

Love the new page......again! I now see what you are doing, and it's a fun idea. I've been avoiding the bywater columns ever since the first few - i completely failed to understand them, and just like you wondered who the hell that guy is. Even knowing who he is doesn't make me want to race back to his stuff, but now i have more incentive to pop back to your page every so often.

If only I had it in me to be a columnist as well. I guess I'll just stick with my original plan (telling people "please come see my page!")

Well perhaps the use of the word "columnist" is too intimidating. Just look at your day and see if an issue came up which matters to you. Stop by your place in h2g2.com and just write about that. For example, I've recently come up against something and will probably write about it before I head for bed today. I was planning on updating weekly, but this is an informal setting in ways. I think we should update our pages whenever it feels right.

Don't think you have to turn your site into a formal setting. Just open up a slice of your life and see what others think. I'm sure you'll find it rewarding.
