1. Connection and appearance

1. httpsEncrypted access:

Google Calendar supports HTTPS connections. We recommend that you use this method. When you are disconnected from Google for searching vulgar content, you cannot connect to Google Calendar through HTTP. Gmail also supports HTTPS. In fact, we recommend that you use this method for HTTPS services. You never know when the Internet will be vulgar.

2. Drag and Drop to select a date range:

You can drag a date to select a calendar display range.

3. Set the personalized date range:

Of course, in addition to dragging and selecting a date range, you can also set the number of dates displayed in the "Custom View" in the settings.

4. Change the Google Calendar skin:

Do you think Google Calendar is too ugly? You can use the better Gcal Firefox extension to make it beautiful.

2. Synchronize calendar

A good calendar should have the export function, that is, it can be synchronized with other calendar management software/services.

1. synchronize with computer software

Here you can see how to export Google Calendar to software such as outlook and import calendar Google Calendar. If you are using MS
Outlook, you can also use a dedicated software to synchronize: Google Calendar sync.

2. Synchronize to the mobile phone

(1) s60 Series
If you are using an s60 series mobile phone, you can use gcalsync to synchronize the calendar of your mobile phone with the Google Calendar. First, you need to install the gcalsync software on your mobile phone.
After installing the software, set the user name and password.

(2) iPhone
For iPhone, you can use the official Google Sync service.

(3) other mobile phones
If your mobile phone is neither an s60 nor an iPhone, consider using the goosync service.
First, you need to register an account in goosync, import your account information, and then install goosync software on your mobile phone.
Goosync not only synchronizes the calendar, but also synchronizes email contacts.

3. Combined with remember the milk

Remember the milk is one of the best todolist services. You can import RTM in Google Calendar:
Add the calendar of the following URL to the Google Calendar, and enter the RTM user information:

Http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/modules/googlecalendar/ics.rtm

 

3. calendar notifications

1. SMS notification
Most people use this notification method. SMS notifications in Google Calendar are free of charge. Most mobile phone numbers are supported. You can add mobile phone numbers in Google Calendar settings and set SMS reminders after adding items.
What I'm curious about is that the SP number of each SMS notification is different.

2. Send Group SMS messages on the team's schedule
If you are managing your calendar for a team and want everyone to receive a text message, you can use the following method:
(1) Let Everyone register the Google Calendar and set the mobile phone number.
(2) Add a team calendar and invite all team members by email)
(3) set the event as a text message reminder
This is mainly used for Team notifications. It is best not to abuse it on Group messages.

3. Free weather forecast text message
Since Google Calendar supports importing calendars and text message reminders, can we import a weather calendar and receive free weather forecast text messages? The answer is yes. Please go here: receive weather forecast text messages for free.

Iv. Operation Skills

1. Shortcut Keys
You may not know that Google Calendar supports shortcut keys. Google Calendar in English has more shortcut keys than Google Calendar in Chinese. Like the shortcut keys for Google Reader and Gmail, J and K are both upper and lower operations. C (compose) is to create a calendar.
When you forget the shortcut key, you can also enter? (CTRL +/) to view the shortcut key prompt.

2. Drag the calendar
Google Calendar supports dragging a calendar. You can drag a calendar to another day or another time period (the month view cannot be dragged to change the time ):

5. Schedule sharing

1. Calendar sharing
In fact, you mentioned calendar sharing when talking about "group text message reminders". You can share this calendar with a specific person (via email) or set this calendar to public, in this way, everyone can import your calendar.

2. embed data into webpages
This is a very useful feature. Previously, my Olympic calendar used the Google Calendar web page embedding feature. For details, refer to the article embedding the Olympic calendar.

3. subscribe to calendar
Since calendars can be shared with others, you can also import calendars of others. You can add a new calendar directly from the URL or search for the calendar in the calendar search.
For example, I searched for the F1 2009 calendar so that I would not miss this year's F1 competition.

Vi. Others

1. RSS subscription calendar
Unlike the "subscription Calendar" mentioned above, the RSS reader is used to subscribe to calendar. If you are a person who only lives in a reader every day, you can subscribe to any public calendar.
Each public calendar has a unique RSS subscription address. This method will cause the schedule to lag, because the reader's capture frequency is fixed, rather than uninterrupted scanning.

2. Use as a diary
Using Google Calendar as a diary is a good idea. You can create a new "Diary" calendar and write a diary in it every day.
What makes it easier to write a private diary like this?

3. Use Twitter to update the calendar
This project should be added to the Twitter advanced manual, which is very useful.
Open the http://twittercal.com, register an account, and then send the calendar information to the twittercal BOT in the form of a private message, the calendar will be added to the Google Calendar.
