CALENDAR or VIRTUAL CALENDAR for ALL of the upcoming genealogy events.

This week’s Genealogy Events News:


Most of my time was spent troubleshooting and problem solving.  I’ve got lots of plans for improvements to the website over the next month or two and have started making minor changes. For starters, I’m removing advertising that isn’t completely relevant — I’ve got some other ideas for those sidebars. I’ve also revised what shows on the “Calendar” view – no bullets and more of the event titles.  And remember, you can easily change how any of the calendars are displayed to Agenda (list), Pinboard, or Monthly view in the upper right of each green calendar box.

I’ve also started working on the time zone issue — you’ll notice on events added this week not only the host’s time zone, but all of the North America time zones plus the United Kingdom, for example: (12:00 PM Pacific / 1:00 PM Mountain / 2:00 PM Central / 3:00 PM Eastern / 8:00 PM BST).   I may have another solution, but for now, unless I hear much negative feedback, I plan to keep adding the multiple time zones to event submissions. If I get enough positive feedback I’ll try to update the existing events with the additional time zone information too.

I sincerely appreciate your emails with suggestions and especially those that let me know when something’s broken. Sometimes when I’m fixing one thing, it breaks something else and I don’t realize it. Please let me know!  If you have suggestions or comments, please feel free to use the CONTACT form on the website or email me at info@conferencekeeper.org
