Most discussion groups, not only YG, are set up to reply to the whole
group. It makes sense as it's a discussion group, right? If it was hard
to reply it would deter people from doing so. However that's one reason
you have to be careful. . .If you want to reply to just the person who sent the mail, you need to copy their mail address from the "From" line of the discussion group mail and open a new mail and put it in the "To" line.   (Thanks, Janina! 22Jan04)

During the process of creating a YG you will be asked
whether you want members to reply to all or reply only to
the sender as default.
I've cut and pasted below YG instructions on that subject.  (Thanks, Van! 22Jan04)

"Reply to All
When a member replies to a message, that reply can be sent to all the group members. This is the most convenient method for group communication. If you think your group members will want their replies to automatically go to the entire group, select the "reply to all" option. This will set the default action, but members can still change the "reply to" address on individual messages.
Reply to Sender
When a member replies to a message, that reply can be sent to only to the person who sent the original message. If your group's topic is sensitive, and you think members may want to reply to each other privately, select the "reply to sender" option. This will set the default action, but members can still change the "reply to" address on individual messages."

In answer to Luisa's question (26Jan04)

If you go to the BaW [YG] website, and click on the "Members" link on the left, then find the page with your own listing, you can click on "Edit my Membership" on the upper right hand side of the screen and change your option to "Daily Digest." This should help you manage your time.   (David Brown, 26Jan04)

Open your YM window, and go to TOOLS then select "Manage Friend List", and then "ADD a Friend", there you select to include each buddy by their Yahoo ID. They will get a message. (Daf, 1Mar04)

Go to the Becoming a Webhead [YG] Homepage. Click on Links and then choose the folders where you want to post. Then just click on Add a Bookmark and fill in the information. If you have a series of links that do not fit anywhere, open a new folder, give it a name or category and add the bookmarks inside.  (Bee, 29Jan04)

If you do not know where you have saved a document (this has happened to me many times) go to "Start" then to "Search", then "Files/Folders", write the name of the document or something similar, click on search, and you will get a list of all the files with similar names or just the wanted document if the name is complete, and you can open it from there (click on the document) and be sure to check where it is located on your computer.

As I've just discovered how to insert pictures in Blogger let me
share my new knowledge :-)
First: you need to upload your picture to the Internet. I have an account at school and I upload my photos there. They have their internet address then, sth like:
http://www.wsl.edu.pl/~azetka/snowman.jpg
Second: You insert a link to the picture in your "Post" area in Blogger. The link goes wherever you want the picture to appear.

In Geocities: Go to http://geocities.yahoo.com/home/
Enter your Yahoo ID and password
On the next page, click on "File Manager" ( left upper corner).
On the next page, click on "Open File Manager" (written inside a
rectangle)
On the next page (the file manager), click on "upload files" (right
upper corner, below a menu that says "HTML editor").
On the next page, you will see "Easy Upload" and this message:

"Transfer files from your computer to your main directory with this simple tool. First click on Browse... to select files [on your hard disk, CD or
floppy], then click Upload Files.
Note: File names cannot contain spaces. The total upload can be up to 5MB."
Your images should be in .jpg or .gif format.

Once you get the message that your files have been successfully uploaded, go back to the files manager (click on that option), and then you will have all your uploaded files there. To get the url to your image, click on "view" next to the image (on the right), and you will see your image and will have the url on your browser. Copy it, and then you can use it to upload your pictures to your blogs.

The process is similar in Tripod and Bravenet. Once you know how to do it in one, it is easier to transfer your knowledge to new situations ;-)
Daf, (19Feb04).

Here are the instructions:
1. Download the javascript (snow.js or hearts.js) and the corresponding  picture (snow.gif or heart.gif) to your computer
2. Open the html source of the page you want to add the script to and copy and paste the code below into the <body> section:

for snow:
<script language="javascript" src="snow.js"></script>

for hearts:
<script language="javascript" src="hearts.js"></script>

3. Upload all three files: your page .html file, javascript .js file and picture .gif file into the same folder on your web server

   That's all!
Hope this wasn't too detailed for you, I'm sure you've got all the knowledge needed!
Enjoy the results!
Cheers,
Agata
