How to Add Google Calendar Tab to your Facebook page

For those of you, like me, who were using the very simple Events Calendar app in facebook, as of today, the developer has stated that it no longer works because of facebook changing its API and he is unsure as to how long it will be until the app is repaired. 

Computer Genie, with a million others, used this app within facebook for a basic events calendar; this app being capable of scanning your existing Events and adding them to a calendar that occupied its own tab. Not being able to wait on the developer, I had to find a new solution today. For the last couple of weeks, I have been toying with iframe tabs 

There are two iframe apps I am testing: Static iFrame tab for a MailChimp e-mail signup page, and Static HTML: iFrame tabs for the Google calendar embedding. Static HTML: iFrame tabs seems a little more sophisticated and allows 12 page tabs per page you admin on facebook.

Embed your Google calendar into your facebook page, using Static HTML: iFrame tabs

1. Make a Google calendar. Simple instructions here. 
2. Find the html code to copy/embed into your facebook app: 

• Expand the My Calendars column (on the left of Calendar page). 
• Hover over the calendar and click on the drop-down arrow, showing a full options menu for customizing your calendar. 
• Choose Calendar Settings. Spend some time here making adjustments to your calendar and when you are ready...

• Copy the html code that appears in the text box under the heading "Embed This Calendar" OR
• Click on the link "Customize the color, size and other options" to customize many other aspects of the calendar. This area will also show the code to copy. Be sure to click the "Update HTML" button above the code, so you are sure to have the latest changes. 

• Keep this page open. If you are like me and need to change the colors 8x, you will return to copy the code over and over again until it is just right.

2. Install Static HTML: iFrame tabs app to your facebook account. 

• Click the button "Add Static HTML to a Page". 
• Choose your page from the drop-down menu and choose "Add Page Tab". 
• Go to your page and click on the Welcome tab and Edit Page Tab button.

There are a lot of things you can add here and play with, but we want to simply add the html code we copied above.

• Notice that you are looking at the "Content" tab. Paste the html code into index.html. There is a paragraph already there giving simple instruction. Delete all the text and PASTE (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + V). 
• Next, click on the "Tab name & image" tab. Simply change the name of the tab here OR wait to do this back at facebook.
• Preview and/or Save & Publish.

It is that simple. Now I am excited!!!

Blogger Migration Issue: When you no longer have Admin rights...

HELP! I cannot find my Blogger Dashboard! I have no access to stats, or layout or settings. What do I do? I posed the following question to the Blogger forum and found my answer within 20 minutes (Praise the Lord!)

Q: (submitted to Google Forums>>> topic: Accessing my blog)
findyourmother.blogspot.com
mycomputergenie.blogspot.com

these are 2 of 5 blogs i let go dormant in 2011. Sometime back then, I followed the instructions to add my new gmail, etc. Apparently, all I did was make myself an AUTHOR instead of an ADMIN and of course, now I have NO ACCESS to any settings, etc. because I must have removed original email. 

I have followed the advice to try to locate my old email address that I used. I went to Blogger recovery and every address I used back then is not coming up as an email in the system. What can I do?

Desperately, want to continue my blog and keep the names I created. Please help. Thanks.

A: Sign in at Gmail using your OLD email address; in my case, this was an old hotmail account that I still keep around for SPAM. It worked!!!

What happened? Back in 2011, Google took over Blogger and asked everyone to sign in with their Gmail accounts instead of their legacy emails. IN the process, we were supposed to add our new selves and delete our old. Which a lot of us did, apparently, but ended up making ourselves only AUTHORS instead of Admins.

Quickbooks 2003 errors - Command.com and Runtime C++ *** SOLVED ***

I use Quickbooks 2003. Ever since Windows XP and I am now using 8.1. 

It is installed on two computers, Windows 7 and 8.1

I finally updated my Windows 7 QB2003 install only after years of it asking... And wow! QB 2003 successfully updated itself on "computer 1".

Updating on "computer 2" -Win 8.1- proved to be a real pain. I aborted mid-update download for some reason and the software would never even open back up for me. I uninstalled, re-installed... etc. I search out the error messages, each one that I recd:

- The command.com error (you might get this one during installation)

Copy all files to a folder on your desktop and run the setup/install software from there. I also recommend setting Properties to Run as if WinXP SP2 and to RUN as Administrator.

- Visual C++ error

Download the 2005 or 2008 Visual C++ Distributable Package from here for 2005 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5638) and here for 2008 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5582)

HERE IS THE TRICK TO MAKE IT WORK: Right-click the program shortcut: Go to Properties. Choose Compatability tab. Check __ Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Voila! Progam opening now. Hallelujah!
