Events Calendar Starting today, we are rolling out a new events calendar for UNH Cooperative Extension.  We have had recurring problems with the old system, and expect the new calendar to provide a much better user experience for visitors and staff alike.

Important features:

• Because the calendar is now on the extension.unh.edu server, events should begin appearing in the internal search results, and appear higher in Google search results.
• Users can easily subscribe to or import calendars and events into their own calendar application, such as Google Calendar, Outlook, Windows Live Calendar, Sunbird, iCal, etc.
• Events can have specified locations, which will link to a Google map for that address.
• Events can be tagged with keywords. (Once a sufficient number of events have been tagged, we'll institute a feature to show related events, and eventually other related resources from UNHCE.)

We'll be conducting a webinar on Monday 4/14 at 10AM to show these features and show how to add and edit events. (To register: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/247704316)

We are redirecting any existing links to the old calendar so that they open the new version, where possible to the same calendar.  We are also modifying the links on our site to point to the new calendars.  However, it's inevitable that we'll miss some links, so they will just go to the new events calendar home page, which lists events form all calendars.  If you find a link that behaves like that, and would like to have it point to a specific calendar, please email Faye with the page the link was on and which calendar it should point to.

If you have questions or feedback about the new events calendar, please comment below or email me (stephen.judd@unh.edu).
