Windows Calender - Sharing

In our household we are constantly struggling with three different schedules that can change every two weeks if not every week. We try to sit down once a week and review what is planned for the next week. It is inevitable that one of us misses something.

Windows Calender offers a solution to families like ours. It is under the menu item titled Share.

The calender can be published to a location on the internet to be seen by those you want. It can be sent via email to family members. And what I think is neat is that you can sync it with other family members calenders.

This may not eliminate scheduling problems, but it should greatly reduce them.
