Instructions for creating a
Google account and modifying the LCDC monthly calendar
To access for the purpose
of adding events or modifying existing events, you must have a Google
account and you must be approved as an account manager by the LCDC.
Attempts to access the
monthly calendar will not work unless both conditions are met.
Step
1: Create Google Account
Click this
link to access the Google login page:
Click Create a new Google
Account at the bottom of the blue box.
Fill out the information
on the following screen...

Your account will not be
active until you reply to a verification email from Google. It takes
several minutes for the message to appear in your mailbox. You must
reply to the email from the email address that you listed when you
registered.
After you reply, verify
your account, you can access your personal calendar page. Google
creates a personal calendar for you. This is not the calendar that you
need. You need add the LCDC calendar to your personal calendar account
page.
Step 2: Adding the LCDC Calendar
If you did not access your
Google calendar page immediately after setting up your calendar
account, do so now.
Click this
link to access the Google login page:
Sign in using your email
address and the password that you designated when you created the
account
You need to add the LCDC
calendar to your account.

Click the arrow beside the
Add button as shown below and select "Add a friend's calendar"
The following dialog box
will appear.

Type in this email address
pbhentz@comcast.net and click add.

The Lancaster County
Democratic Committee calendar should appear as it does on the picture
to the left.
Click the check box in
front of your personal account off and click the check box in front of
the LCDC link on. This way only the LCDC calendar will be visible and
you will be assured that you are only working in the LCDC calendar.
Step 3: Adding and modifying events on the LCDC Calendar
The Google
calendar system is pretty intuitive and easy to use. Most problems can
be answered by the on-line help tools on your calendar page.
Here is
how to create and event:
Left click, the other
left, on and date box. A entry dialog box will appear...
Type in the name of the
event. If this is not a whole day event, start the entry with the time
the event starts; i.e. 6:30 for AM or 6:30p for PM. Click the Create
Event button. OR
Click the "edit event
detail >>" link.

In this dialog box, you
may add specific start and end times and a location. If you include a
specific address, city and state, Google automatically provides a map.
You can have the event
repeat if you wish and span a number of days.
Make sure the Calendar box
reads Lancaster County Democratic Committee.
Click the save button and
you are done.
Just in case you have
difficulty, Paul or
Ken can help. Email them.
From this point on, the
easiest way to access the calendar for modification would be to click
the
button on the
monthly calendar page of the LCDC website.
