I like to keep my friends involved in what’s going on in my life. The ability to share my calendar with them on Google Gmail is priceless. Here’s how you can do it.

1. Sign into Gmail.

2. Click the Calendar link at the top of the screen.

3. Click Settings in the upper right part of the screen.

4. Click Share this Calendar.

5. Keeping the settings as is will share your calendar with everybody that wants to view it. If you only want certain people to be able to view it,  you can type their name in the Person field, set their permissions on what they can see, then click Add Person.

Now other Gmail users will be able to search for your name on the Calendar screen on the left side using the Other Calendar field. They will then be able to view the items on your calendar.
