Thank you for registering as a member of GHASP's website.

(If you haven't registered, please join here.)

Everyone is free to become a member, and you don't even have to provide your real name (although we like it if you do).

We have a site map where you may see a complete list of all the material on the GHASP website, but we think you'll find the search and menu features make it easier to travel the website.

Of course, you are free to just read and use the information on our website, but we offer several other ways to participate.

• E-mail lists: All of our e-mail newsletters are sent from something@airexchange.net, a domain we share with like-minded organizations. We share the airexchange.net system so that you can update your email address one time and it will be changed for all cooperating organizations. Subscriptions to our e-mail list are verified so that we can guarantee that our lists are spam-free. You may update your subscription preferences on your user settings page.

• Comments on website: As a member of GHASP's website, you are invited to comment on almost any of the content presented on our website. Please be respectful, and passion is welcome! While GHASP retains the responsibility to ensure that all material posted is suitable to remain on our website, we will not edit or delete comments simply because we disagree with an opinion. If you want to try out this feature, feel free to add a new comment to the "user tips" page. We'll clean up this page from time to time.

• Notices: You can post a notice for an event or upcoming deadline. All notices will expire in a timely manner. This is an open calendar, and GHASP will not edit or delete notices because we disagree with the event - nor does a notice imply GHASP endorsement!

• Post content, with approval: If you would like to add material to the GHASP website, contact us. GHASP volunteers and staff post content to the site, so you will need to 'sign up' as a volunteer for GHASP before we provide you with access to the website to add your own content. This is a great way to volunteer for GHASP, even if you aren't able to attend regular meetings or find it difficult to get personally involved in other ways.

• Advanced users: With authorization, you can post articles, documents and images to the website. If you're doing this, we recommend using the Firefox internet browser with the Performancing extension. After you select some text, click on it and you'll see how easy posting text to the site will be!

About the pictures in the masthead

No, we didn't doctor these up. (We get the question every now and then.) They are cropped, and the smog picture is adjusted on the right edge to blend in with the grey area.

You can see the originals for yourself.
