    The calendar is awesome. Any iCal or RSS features on the horizon? It would be great to be able to subscribe and view in Google Calendar or Outlook.

    Thanks for the compliment on the Calendar, Erik. We think it is awesome too!

    When you ask about RSS do you mean for our blog? If so, you can easily subscribe to News and Views by clicking the RSS button in the top right header. Once you click that, you can select "View Feed XML" to add our blog to our Outlook RSS feed reader. There's also other RSS subscription options on that page.

    To subscribe via email, enter your email in the "subscribe via email" box in the blog's right column and click "subscribe."

    Thanks!
