Calendar Issues = resolved?

I think I figured out the calendar issue we've all been having. Here's the scoop:

The calendar is hosted by Google. So is Blogger. However, just because you're signed into Blogger, it doesn't mean you're signed into Google for access to the calendar. I made that assumption incorrectly. On my computer, because I'm using Gmail for my email client, I'm always signed in to Google and the calendar is always visible to me.

Here's what you have to do.

1. Go to www.google.com.
2. In the top right of the page, click on Sign In. Use the email address listed below as your login.
3. On the top left of the page, you'll see a list of "things" Google offers.
4. If you don't see "Calendar" in that list, click on "More" and you'll see it in that list.
5. You're in!

When I created the calendar, I added a list of people who had read/write access. I entered email addresses to identify you all. Here are the emails I used (ignore the drop down list here...):

jcc011 at msn.com
teamclark at gmail.com
jason-clark at uiowa.edu
pamperedmichelle at juno.com
lindseyclark_bozo at yahoo.com
chelseypugh at yahoo.com
hans.j.lokodi at us.army.mil
lanceallenclark at gmail.com
dpcdtp at gmail.com
adrianne.richards at gmail.com
richardsfamily.mike at gmail.com
jillywilly07 at gmail.com
katyc44 at gmail.com
roberrabbit at yahoo.com
tana8262 at hotmail.com
chris_clark at byu.edu

If you log in using the above email address for your username on google.com, you should see the calendar. If you don't use the email listed above, please let me know. I can change that setting.

So, in summary, logging in to Blogger does not mean you are logged in to Google. That needs to be taken care of separately using the email address listed above. Doing so will give you read and write access to the calendar.

If this doesn't work for you, we'll need to check your login credentials.
