Managing Google Postings

How to manage how you receive egroup (Google board) postings:

It is nice to see that neighbors are utilizing this egroup to get out information to everyone. With increased usage comes more daily messages posted. I want to make sure all of the egroup members are aware that you can change how you access the egroup postings as they come in throughout the day.

For those who don’t mind the emails coming in throughout the day you can keep things as they are and the emails will come to your email as they are posted. Also, if you wanted to continue getting messages throughout the day, but not to your current email address, you can contact me to change your email address as well.

For those who want to limit or change how you access the daily postings you have options. In order to use these options you have to sign up for a Google account. If you have a gmail email address you already can access these options. Signing up for a google account can be done very easily by going to the egroup website at http://groups.google.com/group/hiltonia.

Once you are on the website you click on “sign in” on the top right hand corner of your screen. This will bring you to the sign in screen. Once there you can sign in to the egroup website if you have a Google account, or if not, click on the “create an account” option on the lower right side of the screen. It is free to sign up and asks for basic info such as an email address, name, and date of birth. Once you set up this account you can sign in to the egroup web site and read all the egroup postings there, or change your settings to manage the egroup postings in a way that your are comfortable with.

In order to change your posting settings you first need to log into the website again at http://groups.google.com/group/hiltonia. Once you are signed in you go to “edit my membership” in the middle of the column of options on the right side of your screen. When you click on “edit my membership” you then will be able to choose from the following options:

How do you want to read this group?
No Email
I will read this group on the web

Abridged Email (No more than 1 email per day)
Get a summary of new activity each day

Digest Email (Approximately 1 email per day)
Get up to 25 full new messages bundled into a single email

Email (Approximately 8 emails per day)
Send each message to me as it arrives

Hopefully this email will help everyone figure out the best way for them to access the information posted on the egroup. If you have any other questions let me know. This will also be posted on the Hiltonia Association’s website (http://www.hiltoniaassociation.org) in case anyone needs it for future reference.
