=============================================

1. Login to your gmail account (if you don't have a gmail account you can get one at no charge here)-

After logging in, part of your browser should look something like this partial screen-capture.

=============================================

2. Go to Google Groups by typing the address "https://groups.google.com" in the small web-address window of your browser (it's ok to overwrite the 'mail.google.com' address from Step 1) -

After doing that, hit the "Enter" key.

=============================================

3. In Google Group's search-window, type the term "BalkanCalendarBalkanForum" as shown here -

then press the Enter key again.

=============================================

4. The search should return the "BalkanCalendarBalkanForum" -

Click on "BalkanCalendarBalkanForum."

=============================================

5. You should now be offered the chance to join the group -

by clicking on "Apply for membership." Do that.

=============================================

6. (Final step) In the window that pops up, type any message you want to tell the group administrator (this is optional) then click "Apply to join this group."

And that's it! The group administrator will send you a message confirming your membership in the group.
