If you’re a company or an organisation, group of folks spread over the globe or a family, you might want to be able to schedule something that fits all your calendars.  Doing this by email or phone takes ages and often doesn’t get everyone’s approval.

How about using ScheduleOnce

It’s free and requires not registration, takes up only a few Kb and integrates directly with Google calendars

If your school posts its dates onto a Google calendar and you happen to keep your information on Google too, you might want to use the merge facility to add the school’s dates to your own.
It really seems to be very simple.

• Just open up the school calendar
• In the bottom RH corner, there is a Google Calendar logo with a + sign
• Click on the + sign
• This will load up your Google calendar and ask you if you would like to import the calendar
• Agree to this and you have successfully merged them

I hope this is useful

BTW – I haven’t managed to find and undo functionm for this – perhaps someone can help

Just thought I’d try to add a calendar to the blog – great for H/W and exam time

The clever bit here is that you can have as many of these calendars as you wish in different places and all you need to do to update all of them at the same time, is to work on your own Google calendar. As people download their blogs and websites, all the information will be updated automatically.

1. make sure you have a Google account
2. get your account and click on calendars
3. when you have set up your calendar, on the left hand side, there’ll be a small box with an tick one side and a small downward pointing arrow on the right
4. click on this arrow
5. select calendar settings
6. scroll down to the box that says embed this calendar
   
7. can choose to customise your calendar – click on customise the colour, size and other options
8. having done that, copy the code in the box
9. go to the point on your post where you would like to place your calendar
10. click on code in the menu bar
11. paste the code in
12. I changed the height to 355 and the width to 450
13. click on update
14. then save the post

you will now have an embedded calendar, which is linked to your Google calendar and will update when you make any changes on your own calendar from anywhere in the world.
