Once you have joined or created a group, you can communicate with other group members.
Step 1 Click on the group name. This will take you to the main page for your group. Below the group information you will see sections for Newest Members and Latest Bulletin. On the right you will see sections for Group Manager and Group Activities (and Managers Tasks if you created the group).
Step 2 In the Group Activities section, click on Group Bulletin. This is where you can read other people's bulletins to the group members (click on them in the list), and write comments in reply. You can also write your own bulletin.
Step 1 Log in to your account, or register if you haven't already.
Step 2 Click on the Create your OWN Group! link here or below.
Step 3 Enter a group name, and something about the group if you want. Choose the appropriate category, and decide if the group will be open, by approval, or by invitation only. To personalize things, you can upload a small picture for the group listing. Click on Submit.
Review the items on the right side of your screen now in the Managers Tasks and Group Activities sections.
