Are you someone who consistently forgets the birthdays for all your friends and family? If so, and you have a facebook account, it may surprise you to know that you can build a personal calendar that will tell you when everyone you’re connected to has a birthday coming up.
Sure, you could just look at the events page on Facebook, but you have to remember to log in so you can find them! There is nothing worse than logging on to your account to find out your Mom in Law’s birthday was the week before! This certainly won’t earn you any “brownie points”, and it could make for a frosty atmosphere around the Thanksgiving dinner table!
It’s not just the dates of birthdays you can import into your facebook birthday calendar you can also make it look unique by adding a few well chosen photos. The thing is, if you do this by making use of what’s available to you on facebook, you will have to do it all manually, and that can take time.
If you’re willing to do a little research on the internet, it is possible to find software programs that will do all of this for you, and the best thing is, it’s free! There are no complicated installations required, and you won’t need a ton of hard-disk space so the program works properly.
All you do is, click “download”, follow the on-screen instructions, and you’re away. The program will gather all the information for your friends and families birthdays from facebook (along with any information you have on your profile), and import it for you. If, at this point, you’re worried about security, there is no need.
Software like this will not be able to make changes to your account, and you’ll never be asked to provide passwords (if you are, uninstall the program right away)! You also have the ability to choose from different designs. It’s possible to have wall calendars as well as desktop calendars.
Once you’ve completed your calendar, you can print it off so you have a hard copy. All the birthdays will already be on there for you. The only thing you have to do is remember to check it. The fact is you can have a completely unique calendar with brightly colored photos so you never miss a birthday again.
You can of course, also print them off, and give them as a gift to your friends and family. It’s possible to personalize each calendar depending on who you intend to send it to. For example, if you want to get back into your Mom In-Law’s good books, try adding a collage of photos that include the grandchildren. This is sure to put a smile back on her face (if you’re lucky).
When it comes to photos, you’re not limited to those you have saved on your own profile you can use photos that other people have on their profiles, which means you can really make your facebook birthday calendar totally unique. Imagine your Mom’s surprise when she opens her gift to find a calendar with a collage of all her latest holiday snaps on it?
