Tech Tips: Accessing the Blue Bulletin

The question of how to access the Blue Bulletin was posed again today so I figured this was something that the entire community may be interested in. With our new email system, the Blue Bulletin is available directly through your personal calendar. To access:

  • Once your calendar has opened, enter "blue@fwparker.org" to the "Add a coworkers calendar" section on the left side and hit return

  • the Blue Bulletin should now appear in your list of calendars

You may notice that the Blue Bulletin has a ton of information and you may not want it in the way every time you look at your calendar. To hide the Blue Bulletin from view simply click on the highlighted "Blue Bulletin" to unhighlight (not sure if that is a word), and the calendar will disappear from view. Now you toggle the Blue Bulletin off and on when needed.

Tech Tips: Quickly add calendar appointments

Would you use you calendar more often if it was faster to add appointments? If so, this is for you.

Simply go to your calendar and click on "Quick Add" in the upper left. From here you can quick add the details and Google figures out the rest for you. For example, you could add the following:

11/3 3:30 meeting in Harris Center

Your calendar will then update with an appointment on 11/3 from 3:30 to 4:30 with the title of "meeting" and location of "Harris Center". No need to click on the details of the appoint and set this up for yourself.

Also you can follow the previous Tech Tip on Gmail Labs, add the Calendar Gadget and do this directly from your email. No need to go the calendar at all.
