To get started, open Calendar and click on the “Tasks” link on the left hand side :
To create a task with a due date in Calendar, click on an empty space in month view or the all-day section of week view, and be sure select the “Task” option.
You can modify a task’s due date by dragging it to a different date, just as you would with a regular calendar event
To mark a task completed from within Calendar, just click on the task’s checkbox.
To keep track of due dates before they arrive, there’s a “Sort by due date” feature (That is really handy!!) available in the actions menu at the bottom of the task list.

Hi
On my blog recently I have added a new feature to my blog called the feedback form. When you visit my site on the side there is an image that says feedback. If you could please fill out this form before you leave my site that would be great.
Your Feedback is greatly appreciated!

A couple weeks of weeks ago Gmail launched its Multiple Inboxes, a Google labs extension. That you can use to customize the different “inboxes” you see in one view when you log into Gmail.
Just say for an example if you forward all your work email to Gmail, you can use Multiple Inboxes to see your two accounts separately within the same browser window. Here’s how:
1. Turn on Multiple Inboxes from the Labs tab under Settings.
2. Set up a filter to auto-archive all mail sent to your work or school address.
3. Customize one of your multiple inboxes to show mail sent to your other address. To do this, go to the Multiple Inboxes tab under Settings and set up one of the panes to search for mail sent to your other address.

TIP: you can use a “custom from” address so that replies will be sent from Gmail but as if they’re from your other account. This way no one will know the difference.

On January 27, 2009 gmail released a offline version of their web based email. It is now possible to check your current emails if you have no internet access available. Last time I checked I think it downloads the latest 10,000 messages. So for an example you type up an email on gmail and click send since you are using the offline version of gmail it will stay in your outbox and when you connect back to the internet later it will send the emails and check for new messages. You can choose to use “flaky connection mode,” which is somewhere in between: it uses the local cache as if you were disconnected, but still synchronizes your mail with the server in the background.
This is still a experimental feature so it may have a couple of bugs.
To set it up
1. Click Settings and click the Labs tab.
2. Select Enable next to Offline Gmail.
3. Click Save Changes.
4. After your browser reloads, you’ll see a new “Offline 0.1″ link in the upper righthand corner of your account, next to your username. Click this link to start the offline set up process and download Gears if you don’t already have it.
Here is a interesting video that the gmail team made that covers all the features of the new gmail offline labs feature.

If you have an email that you want to turn into a Google doc so you can edit it and share it. Google has made a new labs feature where as you can see below in the Image there will be a button that says create a document. Once you click that it will turn that email you have open into a Google doc. The original email will still stay in your Gmail inbox. Think about it you’ll never need to copy text from an email to a document again.
There’s even more! Even if you don’t want to create an email into a Google doc you can make a blank document by just clicking the keys G then W and you will have just created a blank Google doc.
To turn this feature on click on settings then click on the Gmail labs tab then go down and find a lab extension called Create A document then click enable for the extension and click save changes down the bottom. I have heard a number of people have been asking were the send feedback link for the extension was. Well that is temporarily missing but you can still give them feedback by clicking here.

You may of been asking how can I view my google calandar or google docs or even BOTH. Well Now you can Google have released a labs extension which lets you view your calandar add events, view other dates on your calandar.
You can also see other calandars that people have given you premission to view. Or you can even take them off the view.
Now the google docs part is a separt lab extension. You can see recent docoments, open them in a sepeart window and even create new ones.
You can post your comments to the Gmail team via the Labs forum, You can send them your idears.
You can Try out Anatol’s Navbar drag and drop Labs feature so you can easily re-order all the boxes on Gmail’s left hand side. (VERRY USEFULL)
To turn on these gadgets, click Settings, then visit the Labs tab. Scroll to the bottom, select “Enable” next to the features you want to turn on, and then click “Save Changes.”
NOTE Not all gadgets are fully compatible with https, so if you’re connecting to Gmail via https, you may see mixed content warnings caused by parts of the gadgets being served over http. The gmail team said that they are working on the problem with the https
But the google docs and google calandar seemed to work OK on HTTPS. I tested it on a vista pc and also a mac and it worked fine.
Hello As you may know that Gmail have just released 18 themes (if I am correct). They are avaible to all the GMAIL USERS.
Here is a bit of what they said about the new gamil things from the Gmail blog
Gmail fans have been building unofficial extensions to spice up their inboxes for a while, but up til now themes haven’t been an integral part of Gmail. We wanted to go beyond simple color customization, so out of the 30 odd themes we’re launching today, there’s a shiny theme with chrome styling, another one that turns your inbox into a retro notepad, nature themes that change scenery over time, weather driven themes that can rain on your mailbox, and fun characters to keep you in good company. There’s even an old school ascii theme (Terminal) which was the result of a bet between two engineers — it’s not exactly practical, but it’s great for testing out your geek cred. We’ve also done a minor facelift to Gmail’s default look to make it crisper and cleaner — you might notice a few colors and pixels shifted around here and there.
Here is a prview of all the new themes
