Hope the conversion will be as seamless as possible. I really dont see the need to pay $180.00 annually for what Google w provide free. It wont be as viewable as to whom is attending and wont accept "maybe's and other details but at least the event calendar will be available for viewing. I will just have to manually do a little updating. So please make the conversion on your end prior to me ending my monthly payments to Meetup
As of now I will continue to use Meetup for all pre-existing scheduled events. All future posted events (today forward) will be posted on the 7cites Google Calendar. I may post on Meetup as well for a few more months but would rather slowly convert.
I hope I wasnt too vague on how to set up the connection w the 7cites Google Calender. To participate, Google requires you to have 2 things: (A) a Google gmail account (B) create your own Google calendar
Once you establish both (its really easy and quick) you never have to use them...just establish them.
Once you create a gmail acct, just go to your inbox. You will see a "calendar" tab upper left corner. Just spend a few seconds and establish a personal calendar.
Then just email me your gmail email address. I will then enter you as a participant member. You then log back in to your gmail account, then click on calendars, then click on "add a friends calendar. Then you will need to enter my gmail address of "daletrayner@gmail. voila' all done.
Any time you want to view the calender just log in to your gmail acct and click on calendars. You will see 2 calendars, your personal calendar and the 7cities calendar.
This will definitley be a work in progress as I attempt to marry up data from the 7cites blog and the 7cites Google calendar.
Who knows, maybe I will regret this conversion and wish I had just continued using the Meetuip software for $180.00 :)
