STEP FOUR (Adding a New Event)

Double-click in the white space in the center of the 7^th day and a "New Event" (in blue) will appear. It's highlighted and ready for you to type a name for the event, so type "Scott's birthday," then press the Return key when you're done. (By the way, that's not my birthday, but it easily could've been if I were born a month later than I was.) Now, double-click in the white space on the 12^th and add "Register Michael for school." (Note: Double-click on the white space to add an event; don't double-click on the date itself or iCal will switch to Day view.) On the 17^th add "Meet repairman at house," and on the 22^nd add "Dentist appt. at 2 p.m." This is pretty typical stuff that you might add to your calendar, especially if your son is named Michael, you've got a broken appliance, and you're coping with gingivitis.
