Since May 1, about 600,000 Watt-hours of electricity have been generated from this system. That's the equivalent of 600 Watts on for 1000 hours. That's also 1200 pounds of CO2 spared from the environment.

Changes for everyone:

• A surprising number of people search the web for events and land on an EventsGalore.net calendar. So we made it easy for them to e-mail an event to themselves or a friend. To try this, just click on "Tell a Friend" to the right of an event title. The complete text of the event will be e-mailed. You can add a personal note, too.

Changes for calendar managers:

• Calendar managers can "Tell a Friend", too, and as such, you have a couple of additional options.
  • You can e-mail an event to your entire list. This is helpful if a last-minute event isn't posted until after the automatic reminder went out.
  • You can e-mail several events: check the boxes to the left of each event title, and click "Mail several events".

• There's a new way to send reminders! You can now choose to have one week's worth of events automatically sent on any day of the week (in addition to the old way of "before each event"). This is useful if you have lots of events, like several per week, since you probably don't want to overwhelm people with e-mails. You choose the day of the week. To use this, go to "Customize", and scroll down to (or search for) "Determine how often to send reminders".

  I'm thinking about enhancing this to send two or more week's worth of events; would this be useful to you? If so, please contact me and let me know.

• Have you ever wanted to have events for which e-mail reminders are not sent, like common events that repeat often? You can now create event categories for which reminders are not sent. This is useful if you don't want to bombard people with e-mails of ongoing events, for example. You'll also find this setting under the "Customize" menu, just after the event categories (see "never have reminders sent for certain event categories").

• Other minor improvements have been made. The subject of reminder e-mails is now the title of your event(s). E-mails will now be "from" your name (not just your address). A bug was fixed in certain calendars that sometimes were unable to display the color table when selecting colors. And certain things now work faster.

During this time, all calendars will be unavailable while we move data from the old server to the new server.

The new server has a new numeric address, but the same name: EventsGalore.net. There is nothing that you need to do to use this new address. Please be aware that it may take a few hours for the new address to propagate to your ISP. Thus, we will leave the old server up in read-only mode so that users looking for calendars will still be able to view them.

The mini calendar (that we encourage calendar managers to put on their homepage) has improved. You can now choose where you want the date listed. For more details, see "For Event Providers", then "How to integrate your EventsGalore.net calendar into your website", or go straight to http://www.EventsGalore.net/integrate.shtml#mini .

During this time, all calendars will be unavailable.

There's more information in the online help related to subscribing others. You might also find this helpful: the first bit of the message to the users appears below the appropriate Notify/Subscribe/Unsubscribe button.

During this time, all calendars will be unavailable while we move data from the old server to the new server.

The new server will have the same EventsGalore.net name as the old, but a new numeric address. There is nothing that you need to do to use this new address.

However, it may take a few hours for the new address to propagate to your ISP. Thus, we will leave the old server up in read-only mode so that users looking for calendars will still be able to view them. At the very most, it should take 24 hours for the new address to propagate around the world.

1. Several people asked for a printer-friendly format of their favorite calendar suitable for inclusion in newsletters or just to post on the fridge. Click on the "Printer-friendly format" link at the bottom of a calendar, and you'll see it with just dates and events (no navigation bars, subscribe box, etc.).

2. Curious about what other calendars are available? There aren't many yet, but all active calendars are now listed in a pull-down menu on the EventsGalore.net home page. Whenever someone creates a new calendar, it will be placed on the menu within half an hour.

3. We're very excited to announce that you can now display a mini version of your calendar within another web page, commonly used to put calendars on home pages. You can even control what information gets displayed in this version of a calendar. For example, you can specify the number of events to display, the length in days of this calendar, whether or not the full description is displayed, and more. See the documentation under "For Event Providers" about website integration.

4. Subscribers can now choose whether or not to receive manual e-mails sent by the calendar manager, just like they can choose reminders by category. Under "Reminders", select or unselect the "Manual mailings" box.

   In fact, subscribers can choose to receive only manual mailings (no reminders); just select only the "Manual mailings" box.

1. Context-sensitive help. Click on "Help" from anywhere in a calendar, and you will get help related to the function you are performing.

2. New features when adding an event. Do you have events where you don't want to list a duration (like someone's birthday)? You can now do this by making the duration 0 (for the hour and minute) and no duration will be displayed.

   Likewise, if you want to add an event with no start time, select 0 for the start time and no start time will be displayed.

3. Improved past events format. If you are allowing people to view your past events, you'll notice they are now listed most recent first. This is more intuitive than "oldest first".

4. New "press release" mode. EventsGalore.net is good at upcoming events, but now also has a "press release" mode for distributing announcements. In this mode:
   • Your calendar is dedicated to announcements.
   • Viewers of your calendar will see all past announcements listed most recent first.
   • Announcements will be delivered the morning after they are posted.

   This is very handy for distributing press releases while also keeping them posted online!

   Under the "Customize" function, see the viewable length of your calendar setting (near the bottom) for more information.

• There is now support for events that last all day (see "Add Event"). Duration times are now displayed on a calendar.

• A calendar manager can now send an e-mail message to all subscribers (see "Reminders").
