Tip – Use GooCal to Manage Backend Site Data

Google Calendar (or as the cool kids say GooCal) is a great way to get your web site’s back end organized. It has the easiest interface to just drop in reminders and schedule repeating tasks. Personally I use it to remind me when my timesheet/invoice is due so I remember to send it in to get paid.

Logging into Google Calendar, adding a task or reminder is easy to do. Just click on the date and type in the item you need to remember in the “What?” box. Later on, you can click that same item to edit it further – such as set it to repeat every x amount of days or weeks.

Google CalendarFor Web Hosts and Hosting Workers:

  • Mange project start and stop times
  • Figure out when your next invoice is due
  • Schedule staff meetings and share it with your support crew

For Web Hosting Clients and Customers

  • Setup a reminder for your next hosting billing date
  • Notify yourself of when your domain name registration is up
  • Write down server maintenance times from your host so you don’t forget

Google Calendar is one of those tools I use for just about everything. Don’t forget to try out some of the alternatives like 30 Boxes, Yahoo Calendar and Kiko then stick with the one you like best.
