"I Should Be Very Glad of a Little Assistance." [SIGN]

by Scott Monty June 20, 2007

When I first started this blog nearly two years ago, I really had no idea how it was going to work. It was a trial, an experiment, a unique and new way of informing Sherlockians on a variety of topics.

Couple that with the lightning-like evolution of new media in a fairly short period of time and what you've been lucky enough to witness is a revolution in the way we communicate. The different tools and widgets that have sprouted in the sidebar are testament to that.

So when I started taking data from Ron Fish's comprehensive master Calendar of Sherlockian Events and integrated it with a Google calendar, I thought it was simply another outgrowth of the process. I liked the idea of using the Google version, because it allows me to show dates directly on this blog and has a traditional calendar-style approach.

But I've come to a point where I can't manage the Google calendar any more. So here are my questions for you, dear readers:

1. Should I abandon the Google calendar entirely?
2. If not, is there someone who would be willing to help out with inputting the dates? (It's very basic)
3. If so, would the use of another application with a calendar plug-in feature, such as Upcoming be a feasible approach?

I realize that some of this may sound like mumbo-jumbo to some of you. But click on the links and see what you think is the best approach.

The bottom line is this: if I can get someone to help keep track of these events in a new application, I'm more than happy to entertain whichever version you're comfortable using.

I thank you in advance for your willingness to answer these questions and/or assist me.
