How to use a google group...

[John Meluso]

So last night at Fusion I was informed that not everyone knows how to use a Google group. Well here's how:

 

1. To send an e-mail to everyone in the group, send the email to peru-fu...@googlegroups.com which is our group e-mail. It sends the message directly to every member and posts those e-mails on our Google Group website.

2. To access the Google Group online visit http://groups.google.com/group/peru-fusion-08?hl=en (at least I'm pretty sure that should work). If it doesn't, try step 3.

3. Create a Google account (not the same as a gmail e-mail address). On either the classic Google or the iGoogle page select "Sign In" in the upper right hand corner. If you have an account, great, and sign in (If that's you, skip down to the next set of parentheses). If not, in the bottom of the two blue boxes in the right column click "create an account now." Follow their instructions to signing up. Once your account has been confirmed, revisit the Google home page and sign in. Once you are signed in (this goes for those with an account already too), and click "My Account." Feel free to edit your personal information on the left, but to access the awesomeness that is the Peru Fusion '08 group click "groups" on the right then "Peru Fusion '08" under my groups and voila you're there!

 

So feel free to use the group to communicate with others by posting messages on the site (which are also sent to everyone as an e-mail), post photos or create pages kind of like a MySpace or facebook account. So there you have it, let me know if you have any more questions, and I really encourage everyone to use it because it can make reading, receiving, and sending e-mails with a group much easier (those of you who are Mountain Crashers should know something about this by now).

 

Hope you all enjoy it and I'll see you all at Maddie's pool party on thursday!

 

In Christ,
