Does Google Calendar really make things easier?

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009 by Peter Zhang

The answer is yes! I had a chance to mess with Google Calendar while organizing events for a student club. After spending some time with it, I find that it is actually a really good organizer for events and such.

So how can it help you? Follow me!

Signing in

First Step: Open Google Calendar. Sign in with your Google Account (If you don’t have one already, sign up one. If you don’t feel like signing up one, let me persuade you).

Create an Event

Then, try creating an event by simply clicking in one of days in the month. Type in the event name, or even describe it  (such as 12:30pm Meeting), and look what happens!

It is that simple! You can even select multiple boxes in a row, and create an event that takes you a few days to finish. Such as, travelling to China, or, Project Century or something.

Repetitive Events

Choose an event, click “edit settings”. Through that,You can also set if the event repeats or not. Such as a company meeting at every Tuesday morning, that can be easily handled with Google Calendar.

Probably the best thing you can do is inviting guests to your events. And if the guests use Google Calendar, it would be shown on their calendar too. Inviting guests is simple, all you need to do is click into “edit settings”, and choose a list of guests from your contacts of GMail (or enter a email address manually).

Invitations

image

After you click “save”, Google Calendar will automatically send out a mail to those you specified. The letter itself is pretty too. Guests will have an option to say “Yes” “Maybe” or “No” to the “Going?” question. A complete guest list with who is attending and who not can be viewed in the details of the event.

Public Calendar

There are no “Holidays” listed on Calendar? WHAT TO DO!? A simple and fast solution: Import a public calendar. Go to Settings –> Calendars –>Browse Public Calendars and include calendars that fits you the best. It includes holidays from a ton of countries.

Display it!

When you have made a calendar, you want to show everybody how neat you are. Simply Go into Settings –> Calendars. Choose your calendar and follow the instructions to “Embed the Calendar”. There are tonnes of options you can make, including size, what to show and what not to show, etc.

Still confused? Not sure if Google Calendar can really does what it says? Try it out first!

    Go to Italy or Spain. It is absolutely beautiful. But what exactly YOU want to go to or see or what your personal interests are, you need to make on your own. Hope that helps.

    You are not fudged, you maybe bouncing off the walls not being able to calm down. I would say not do that, Lipo-6 gives enough energy for a workout regiment. I would go do some cardio, or lift weights for a long time. Also, you may get some headaches if you continue and than get off the lipo-6 just depends on how your body reacts to the extra caffeine.

    i think you can convert the music format from AAC to a format compatible to your sansa player.. burn your itunes songs to a cd then put it back in the computer..

    You could buy a second battery and in most cases this can be inserted to replace the CD drive. Your system is then running with two installed batteries.

    How old are you? I spent a lot of time researching different business opportunities. Travel was one I highly considered. I just didn’t know if that was all I wanted to focus on. I am glad i did my research because i found a business that has allowed me to do travel and still have other areas to work with. So you might want to look into something like that. So if one day travel isn’t going so well you have something else to fall back on! Email for info… I would love to help!

    Math is very important to Interior Design…floor measurements to replace floors..to figure out an area of a room so you can mathematically figure out how much paint you might need. You will need to figure out how much yardage for drapes and slipcovers.You need math more than you think in Interior Design! Good luck with the project.

    There is career prospect in SEO field. But at the same time you have to be analytical with good english writing skill, technical or a bit programming knowledge, a good tracker of the industry etc. Many search engine optimisation companies are providing training to the new comers so as to earn revenues. This is a different business models for them as SEO has become common to the technology world. Social media marketing and optimisation is the new buzz along with the SEO and SEM.

    I do not think that you need a dvd to do a dance workout. Just wear something nice, put on some music and go crazy. No one will be watching (I hope) so you do not have to feel self conscious.

    torrentz.com is usually a good search for all things including bollywood films. Most of the time though you can type the name of the film followed by ‘movie torrent’ in Google and get a download link.

    I have the Garmin Nuvi 350. Its good. I like Garmin over Tom Tom because Garmin actually tells you the street names of where to turn, so instead of "in 800ft turn right" the Garmin will say "turn right on main street"

    Be a named driver on one of your parents policies. This will be a lot cheaper for the first few years. If you are with direct line you’ll also biuld up your own no claims.

    I definetly agree with this blog post, Another tip I have is to really contibute to the blogpost itself, meaning that your comment is en extension of the bloggers post an addition that enhances the bloggers post even more. If you really like a blogger and hang on a particular blog very frequently, then if you think something is missing or want to add to the post, add your own knowledge and even if you dont have the knowledge try to Google it up and enrich yourself and bring in your new knowledge to the blog in question. This way hopefully you learn something new and also the blogger learn something new, it becomes a 2 way street where you learn something from the blogger and the blogger learn something from you. Interactivity when it is best!

    No. Makeup can help even your skin tone and enhance your natural features. But I think the best thing to do to look beautiful is stay healthy. Drink water. Practice good hygiene. Take care of your skin and teeth. Then smile, and your beauty will show.

    You use it through windows media player on your computer. Open up windows media player and then connect your sansa mp3 via usb cable. It should then show up on left hand side of media player screen and you drag and drop music from windows media player into mp3 player to load it, and to delete those files you click on the music listed on your mp3 player and delete them that way.

    Either. ISO is the version of the game that is not compacted, so it will usually play a bit better, at the cost of extra memory space. CSO is the compacted version, while it saves space, glitched may occur in-game, such as text not showing up, frame jumps, etc.

    I have the Garmin Nuvi 750 and its great. I get to the destination fast, avoids traffic and the graphics are great. It has a safety alarm code so if its stolen or lost no one gets your info on where you live, or your personal destinations. Its text to speech, so it will tell you the name on the street you need to turn and it will tell you if your destination its on the right or on the left. I love it, you should give it a try!!
