Flipboard

My new absolute favorite app is Flipboard. It is perfect for someone who is on the go but still wants to keep up to date with all of their favorite news and social media! I have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all of my news interests all in one application. Reading everything is as easy as a flip of the page! I even have Google Reader synced so I can check out all of my favorite blogs.

Facebook Events Export

This post has since been updated! Check out the new post!

Here's to my first blog post! I'm brand new to this so please forgive me...

I wanted to start a blog for those who aren't super techy but love those tech tips to help organize their daily lives! So for my first post I will share one of my recent favorite tips!

I don't know about you, but I'm a sorority girl, and we have tons of events! A lot of those events are made and posted on Facebook. Well I wanted to be able to view my event calendar without logging into Facebook each and every time. I became determined to be able to view the events on my iPhone and/or on my google calendar. So here are the steps I took:

1. Go to www.facebook.com
2. Go to Events
3. Click on the magnifying glass and then click "Export Events" 
4. The "Export Events" popup will appear. Highlight the URL that appears in blue font and copy it.
5. Email the link to yourself so you can have it for your records.
6. Open the email on your mobile device and click on the link. 
7. Follow the steps on your mobile device to subscribe to this calendar. Wah lah! You are now subscribed to your Facebook Events Calendar.

Want to add the calendar to your Gmail Calendar? That's simple too!

1. Open your Gmail Calendar and find the Other Calendars section.
2. Click on the drop-down box and choose "Add by URL"
3. Paste the URL that you emailed yourself earlier into the popup and done! 

Well that's all for now. Please comment on what you would like to see next time and enjoy!
