Any suggestions for the best way of getting information on running a group?

First make your site look sharp. Choose custom colors a good photo and welcoming message. Click edit beside description on your cover page then scroll down and you will find where to do all that. Send an email to all your friends and relatives with the URL pasted in explaining the group and inviting them to join and asking them to forward the message to their friends and relatives asking the same. also, paste the URL into every future email you send. When you set up your group put first posts on moderation, if someone causes a problem at the start with spam or nasty comments ban them then and there. Try to add HTML links to similar sites on your cover page and also a hit counter you can do a search for free ones, they help make your site interesting. As your membership grows add additional moderators and encourage everyone to offer suggestions to improve your group. you might also promote it or look for members on facebook. It takes a long time to build a good group, and remember participation is more important than numbers. Good luck
