If you don’t have a Google account (or don’t want to use it)…

If you want to sign up to the e-mail list without using a Google account, the process is still fairly straight-forward.  You simply need to send an e-mail to the Google Groups system, and then reply to the confirmation they send.

  1. Send a blank e-mail to tampa-bay-gis-user-group+subscribe@googlegroups.com.
  2. Within a few minutes, you should receive an automated e-mail with “Join request for tampa-bay-gis-user-group [{<random characters>}]” as the subject heading.
  3. Hit “reply” in your e-mail client, and send the e-mail without changing anything.
  4. You will receive an automated e-mail from Google Groups informing you that you are subscribed successfully.
