Calendar
This calendar will be password protected, so only family members can see it and add events to it.
Some notes about the calendar:
1) The calendar has the same username and password as the directory
2) To move around in the calendar, scroll down to the bottom and you'll see the "Month", "Week", & "Year" popup list selections. For normal use, you'll probably just want to use the one on the far left, "Month". Click on the "v", choose the desired month, & click "Go".
3) The only links you'll probably need to use at the bottom are "My Calendar" & "Add New Entry".
4) Please do not make any changes in the "Admin" section.
To add an event to the calendar:
1) Click "Add New Entry".
2) Enter a Brief Description (& a Full Description, if desired)
3) Choose the appropriate date
4) If you have a specific time for the event, click the "v" & choose "Timed event".
5) Fill in the time
6) These are probably all the entries you'll ever need to make.
7) Click "Save" (NOTE: If you don't click "Save", your entry will not be posted to the calendar.)
8) To return to the calendar, you can click "My Calendar" at any time.
