FLIT 150

YOUR YAHOO GROUP

In order to participate in the discussion group, each person in the course must register with Yahoo.com, and register in the appropriate group. This is NOT optional.

Take the following steps:

If you are already a member of Yahoo Groups, go to step 2. Otherwise, go to http://groups.yahoo.com . On your first visit you will be asked to register. There will be an electronic form to fill out, asking you to provide a screen name, your choice of a secret password, and an email address. Beware the little checked box in which you agree to receive all sorts of spam from their advertisers. You will probably want to un-check this. As part of the registration, you get a free yahoo.com email address. Use it or not as the address when you subscribe to the group, as you please.
After registering at Yahoo.com, send an email to the group asking to subscribe:

Send the email to:

FLIT150-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Do not bother with a subject word, unless you want to put in "subscribe", but that is not necessary for the process. Do not put anything in the message portion of the email. It will not be read.
The professor will process your subscription request, and you will (perhaps) receive back an email telling you that you are now a member of the group. This can take a day or so.
Begin reading the messages on the group that other people are posting. You get to the messages by going to:
or, if you want to do it mechanically, you should type in:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FLIT150

(You can click on one of the months of the calendar toward the bottom of the screen to start the list of messages; or you can click on the word "Messages" on the navigation bar at the left side of the screen. Each message has a separate number.)
