Where exactly is the YG list?

Dear coodinators,

Could you tell me whether these two tours to Tapped in will be similar or different in content?

dear all
I would like to participate with you to learn and share online experience. Please help me/

Carlos, YG means Yahoo Group

Tatiana, usually we offer participants different times as we deal with people from many different countries and different time zones.

Abdou, have you joined our Yahoo group ? If not, go to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/baw10

Abdou, we are here and I remember welcoming you to the yahoo group. You can use the http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/baw10 address to ask any question you may have. And do try to do things at your own pace starting with what the activities on this page.

How can I participate on the live sessions? I'm already a member of Tapped In. I have been there and read about BJ Berquist's session, but there's no link or info on how to be part of it. Please help me.

Answer week 1 questions in the YG list:
How do you change your mail distribution preferences at our Yahoo Group?
How do you post a photo to the wiki?
How do you join an office in Tapped In if you are at the reception?

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO AT THIS PART OF WEEK 1 DUTIES??

Dear Carlos, please take a look at http://baw2010.pbworks.com/LiveSessions. We´ll have another Tour today January 16 th at 19:00 (GMT). Anisoara has sent a message to the Yahoo Group with all the steps .

Dear Dincer, explore the Yahoo Group , the wiki and Tapped In to answer the questions. The idea is to get used to this basic tools that wil be used along the course.Write your answers to the Yahoo Group,please.

I managed to upload a photo to the YG page,but failed to do the same in the wiki page. I alawys receive this message 'baw2010participants was edited' from PBworks Changebot" <do-not-reply@pbworks.com. I'm sure I made a misake but what is it? I don't know.Yet I'm not going to give up.

Hi Imam, your photo was huge so I reduced it and posted it next to your introduction on this page: http://baw2010participants.pbworks.com/Participants3
You can stop receiving the wiki messages by clicking on a link given at the bottom of these messages. The link says: Manage your notification settings

Dear Moderators,
Unfortunately I oculd not attend the Tapped In Sessions. Of course, I'll look for the recordings and all that. This is my second Baw so I did not answer the questions in the YG - Is it a problem? What I mean is, I recognize this CAN be a problem because what usually happens to me is : I "know" how to do things, I am a risk taker but then I may find it difficult to go through the step by step instruction; I'm, in this case, more hands on. Thank you!

Hi Qilmar, don't worry about not being able to attend TI, there's a regular tour almost every week, just check the calendar. If you know the answers to week 1 questions, that's the essence, no need to write them in the yahoo group - you've reached our mutual target.
