Install Groupwise Messenger at Home

Hi Folks;

Some of you may want to chat with your friends within the school district during the summer, on the weekends, or just after school - and you can't be bothered to learn a different Instant Messaging program.

Here is how you can install Groupwise Messenger at home. Don't worry, this isn't a method of "The District" spying on your home computer and invading your home.

^_^

Here is the direct link for the install:
https://messenger.weber.k12.ut.us:8300/

Yes, this will even work for you Mac folks out there.

And if you'd like a little more help, here's a short video.

Enjoy.

How to send an exact LINK

Hi folks;

Those of you who receive my emails see the link to this specific topic, such as:

...rather than just the link to my blog's home page:

When you tell somebody to "check my blog", they may not get to it immediately. So if the author has written several posts by the time your friend has checked that blog, they will not see what you were directing them to.

If you send them an exact link to a specific topic, it won't matter when they click it, they'll always be directed to that specific post.

Another good example is KSL.com. You may tell your friend to click on KSL.com and read the story posted there. If they wait even an hour, KSL may have posted several topics by that time, and your intended story is no longer at the top.

Here is the best way to avoid the confusion, please watch this 5 minute video:
