<p>I watched a demo of Evanced’s new calendar system, <a
href="http://signup.evanced.info">SignUp</a>, while it was in
development almost 9 months ago. It looked cool, but I found a couple
bugs, and we didn’t see reason to be one of the first to upgrade. Since
then, Evanced has made a lot of progress and, as of yesterday, SWON is
now using SignUp. <a
href="http://swon.evanced.info/signup/eventcalendar.aspx">Click here</a>
to see our calendar’s new look. </p>
<p>SignUp has a much more modern look than Evanced’s previous version.
Looks do matter, although it’s sometimes frustrating to admit it. It’s
not just eye candy, either. Hover your mouse over an event and you can
read the entire description, including registration details and contact
information. On the administration side, creating events has been spread
across several pages, with simplified options. You can even create
event templates to speed you along.</p>
<p>Since we’re not a library, your implementation would be different
from ours. Evanced sent us a few links to library calendars that are
using SignUp, as we prepared for the switchover. You might find them
interesting, since they organize their events and integrate with their
websites in different ways. </p>

<p>If you have questions about upgrading to SignUp, I’m happy to share
what I learned through the experience. Give me a call at SWON’s office.
Also, please note that old links to our calendar will no longer work as
expected. Please use the new links to our calendar listed below.</p>
