It's where people with a shared interest meet, get to know each other, and stay informed.
Your group gives you instant access to:
* Shared message archives
* Photos and photo albums
* Group event calendars
* Member polls and shared links
So below is my description.
All this may sound somewhat intimidating, but many Yahoo! Group members use only one feature – the group email. Because once you join the group, you can send an email to every member in the group just by sending it to a single email address. And, conversely, you can get every email sent by everybody else.
| So, how does joining the ASG Atlanta Yahoo! Group
benefit you? Have you ever needed help with a technique or thought
there must be an easier way to get something done? All you have
to do is post the question to the group via email, and wait for
the responses. You’d be surprised at the amount of knowledge
that will come your way. In addition to the ability to communicate with the rest of the group, group email is used to keep members informed about such things as…  a.
Sponsor sales, estate sales, store closings, etc.b.
Fabric.com warehouse sale datesc.
Classes that might be of interest to membersd.
Individual member newse.
The formation of new neighborhood groups So, if you aren’t a member yet but would like to explore the idea, here some basic instructions to help you through the process of joining. If you need a little more depth, a more detailed set of instructions is available on our website at www.asgatlanta.org. |
If you don’t already have a Yahoo! account and ID you will need to create one.
If you already have one, you can skip to step 2.
Go to http://www.yahoo.com. At the top right of the page, click on Click on “New here? Sign Up”. Click on this link, which should take you to the following screen.
Fill out the form on the screen. Where it says “Yahoo! ID and Email”, pick any ID that appeals to you. This can match your email address from another provider if desired. Leave the suffix as “yahoo.com”, or pick one of the other options, and then click on “Check”. Yahoo! will check and see if the ID you picked is available (i.e. nobody else has already taken it). If so, you will be able to fill out the rest of the form. If not, keep trying out ID’s until you find one that’s available. Note that an ID may not be available in one domain, but may be available in another, so try different domains before compromising on your choice of ID’s. The “domain” is the part of the Yahoo! ID after the @ sign.
Write down your ID and password and put them in a safe
place! Remember, case matters in the password. Make sure you write it
down exactly as you typed it in.
Yahoo! ID _____________________________
Password _____________________________
At the bottom of the form you will need to check a box agreeing with
the Terms and Conditions, and then type in the funny characters, and
then click on “Create My Account”. (Note that case is important
when you type the funny letters.) At this point, you should see a screen
that looks similar to the one below:
Now, if you see the screen above, click on the Continue button. You now should be signed in under your new ID. At this point, you might want to sign out and then sign back in again to get comfortable with the procedure and verify your ID and password while it’s still fresh in your memory.
