How do I officaly start a Yahoo group?

I want to start receiving messages from a Yahoo! group in my new 360 account. How do I do that?

  • A friend said that she somehow got her messages from a Yahoo! group on her 360 Yahoo! site, but she doesn't remember how she did it. When she told me that, I now want to do that. How do I do it?

  • Answer:

    Probably by an RSS feed. " Every Yahoo! group has its own RSS feed. To read it you must either be subscribed to the group, or that group must be configured to have publicly-readable messages." See the section on Yahoo! Groups on this page - http://developer.yahoo.com/rss/ . UPDATE: If active, the RSS button would be at the bottom right corner of the "Most Recent Topics" section on the group's "Home" page. Here are some general instructions on RSS for 360: - Go to any the site that you want to get the feed from. Click on the "RSS or XML" link or orange RSS button. A RSS file will come up on the next page. (If the page looks like raw code, but don't let it scare you!). - Copy the URL found in the address bar of your browser after clicking the RSS/XML button. Select the URL and click "Ctrl-C" if you want. - Click the "Add a Feed (via RSS)" in your Feeds module on your "My Page" in 360. Use "Ctrl-V" to paste the URL into the "Add a feed" space in that page. When you're done, click the "Save" button below. WARNING: Getting the link to be accepted without an error can take SEVERAL tries. I mean, SEVERAL. No kidding, even if you have the correct URL. The module is buggy. NOTE: Please note that feeds are updated on a schedule, so it may take a few hours before your feeds appear on Yahoo!. The general help page has instructions - http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/profile/profile-18.html Then, the Yahoo team's blog has a post on the subject at - http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Ehaak.hdNZkEAzDrpa4Q--?cq=1&p=693
