Good morning, following up on Luc Nanga’s question. I too, would like to link it to my office exchange outlook
Currently that would mean you would have to get a hold of the iCal feed for this calendar. As I don’t use Office Exchange Outlook myself, I don’t really know if such a feed would be available. Perhaps there is a systems administrator you could ask?
Hello, To whom it may concern….. Is there a way I can get the 24 hour clock off my calendar and use 12 hour clock instead…. It would make it a lot easier to read the schedule with normal time instead of army time….. Hope that’s understanding what I am requesting to do…..
Thanks !!!
Hi Folks,
How can i link my start.me calendar widget to my office outlook?
Cheers
Luc
Do you intend to have an option for 12 hour time instead of 24 hour? I would love that.
And perhaps a bug? On my calendar, it shows all day entries on the day before. So a Monday all day entry will show on Sunday. Perhaps because of time zone differences (just a guess)?
We have put your request on our backlog and will inform you when this is done.
How do I add my iCal? It is asking for a url.
If I try to add start.me as an extension, it says ‘coming soon.’
Hi Jim,
To add an iCAL calendar:
1. Click on the + sign in the grid to add a new widget
2. Select “Calendar”
3. Select ICAL/ICS
4. Add the title & URL (example http://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics)
5. Click the “Add” button
If this doesn’t work, please e-mail us on support@start.me.
Best regards,
Luuk

Is it just me, or are RSS widgets now no longer trimming long titles?
We indeed removed the option to trim long titles in article summaries. Unfortunately, this introduced a bug, that we later resolved. You should now find titles are trimmed again.
I actually find *not* trimming titles useful in some use cases. Is trimming optional?
I combed through the Preferences/Settings pages but didn’t see an option to turn it on/off.
Trimming the titles of headlines in the summary view of RSS widgets is no longer optional / available.
