The Challenging Week 3

充滿挑戰的第三周 - Some of you found Week 3 materials challenging, yet useful in the future. Well... perhaps that is a good sign because there is substance in what you learn and the tools are practical for future application:)

兩個小貼示 - Just two quick tips on perfecting your skills in the use of these tools:

  1. When importing the calendar to the blog, you can test out the size of the calendar. The dimension indicated in our quick guide is 550 x 400 pixels, which shows the entire calendar on my computer. But, for some of you, the dimension could be too large. With this, you will not be able to show the "Agenda" option (on the far right hand side of the calendar) which allows you to show only dates with events, a very handy feature.

  2. Adding Google Blog to your iGoogle Homepage. Most of you will find that the page goes blank after clicking on the "Add it Now" button. For blogger, you will need to do one extra step. Tips are as follows:
    (a) Enter "Embed blogger" to search for the gadget.
    (b) Click on "Add it Now" button.
    (c) Return to your iGoogle.
    (d) On the top right hand corner of the window for Blogger, click on the down arrow icon. And then, select "Edit settings".
    (e) Enter the URL of your blogger address.

誰是你的專訪貴賓? By talking with some of you, we note that there has been quite a bit of excitement when inviting the Library VIPs - "Who will be able to provide a captivating story?" "Will this colleague be willing to accept my invitation?" - Our training team was able to feel the pulse and excitement too! You know, it has been an exciting experience to unveil who's the Library VIP from each of your Google Documents. We do look forward to the interview and watch the stories on Youtube in the coming week! 這個星期會更精彩 !

  2. hmmm... it seems that one needs to do this with trial and error. But, from my experience, the optimum dimension is 450 x 350 pixels. However, as you might already be aware, even when the calendar looks ok on a PC, it might be different when viewed on another one.

    Sorry for not being able to give you a definite answer on this.

    Another thing I'd like to share with you is that I normally prefer to display the "Agenda" as default. This will show the dates with events making the calendar, I think, more "Pro-active".
