Ok...since everyone on here is so brillant, I was hoping to get a suggestion from all of you.

I'm looking for an online calendar that my husband and I can access (work at different companies) so that we can all be on the same page when it comes to scheduling.

I had signed up for one at Cozi Central, but apparently, that's not working (and hasn't been for days).

Thanks so much for your help and suggestions.

Liz
 
You can actually set this up on Yahoo!
 
Actually Yahoo has a good one and I just suggested to my mom that we should set one up since her and my sister work odd shifts and then I can put my parties on. You have to set up an email account for it but then just don't use it for email only use it for the calendar feature.

I am in our praise band at church and we actually set one up just for the calendar feature so that we can all access it and put in dates that we have something going on.

I hope that helps.

That is a great idea! I should do that with my DH. He works so much and doesn't know half the things going on. Thanks for sharing this idea!
 
We use the Google calendar. My hubby set it up (computer geek) so that he would know what nights they can eat junk food. :D
 
Gmail has a great calendar that you can share, too. Probably the Google one that was mentioned above.
 
jewel ... let me guess, those are the nights you have shows LOL
