I have put together a series of tutorials to help users with Yahoo! Groups. The tutorials or "viewlets" should be
usable by most of you. No plug-in is required, but there are certain browser version requirements. These are listed below. While these are going to be "tweaked," the names and location will remain the
same. If you have web sites, please feel free to link to the page and promote its use for all of your visitors.
These tutorials are generic, so they are useful for the any organization's group as well as
any that you may be using. If your organization is not using this type of communication, you should investigate it usefulness. As an example, The Central Florida Computer Society has a weekly news report group,
which is open to the community, as well as several groups for the Board of Directors and many of its Special Interest Groups (SIGs).
The 5 tutorials are located at http://www.hewie.net/tutorials/index.html
The 5 lessons are:
1. Register at a Website - This is how you register for a Yahoo! Group from a Website.
2. Setup Membership Wizard - How to use the Membership Wizard to setup a Yahoo! Group. Includes the features of a Group.

4. Yahoo! Group
Search & Edit - Search for a Yahoo! Group. Sign up for the additional group. Change some settings and change email address.
