			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that you can set up an event invitation directly inside your email inbox from Gmail?</p>
<p>See instructions below, taken from <a title="Create an event invitation in Gmail" href="http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=161776&amp;ctx=cb&amp;src=cb&amp;cbid=43u0vv9m5te9&amp;cbrank=0" target="_blank">here</a>...</p>
<div>
<h2>Create an event invitation in Gmail</h2>
</div>
<div id="article-content-div" style="background-color: #cfcfcf;">
<p>It's easy to create event invitations right in Gmail. Want to send a quick meeting invite to your colleagues, or respond directly to your friend's email with an invitation to catch up over coffee? Simply follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>In Gmail, click <strong>Compose Mail</strong> to create a new message, or click <strong>Reply</strong> or <strong>Forward</strong> to create an invitation in response to an existing email.</li>
<li>Whether you include invitees in the <strong>To:</strong>, <strong>CC:</strong>, or <strong>BCC:</strong> fields, all recipients of the email will be added as invitees to the event.(<strong>Note</strong>: If any invitees are included via <strong>BCC:</strong>, the entire guest list will be hidden from all recipients of the invite. If you'd like to un-hide the guest list, you can do so by opening the event in Google Calendar and selecting the <strong>see guest list</strong> checkbox under <strong>Guests can</strong>.)</li>
<li>Select the <strong>Invitation</strong> link, found under the <strong>Subject:</strong> field.</li>
<li>Fill in the event details in the Invitation window that appears.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Insert Invitation</strong>. A preview of the invitation appears in your email message.</li>
<li>If you'd like, add other content to the email before sending.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Send</strong>.</li>
</ol>
<p>The event is created when the message is sent. For recipients using Google Calendar, the event is automatically added to their calendar. Other recipients can easily add event information from the email to most calendar programs.</p>
<div>Want to make changes to the invitation before sending it off? Hover over the email preview to display links in the upper-right corner to <strong>Edit</strong> or <strong>Delete</strong> the event information. If you need to make any changes after sending the invitation, you can do so within Google Calendar by following <a href="http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=37112">these instructions</a>.</div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<h2>Add an image inside the body of your email in Gmail</h2>
</div>
<div>You can also add an image directly into your email using the little image icon...it looks like this ---&gt; <a href="http://thegreenink.net/wp-content/uploads/image-icon.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-521 alignnone" title="image-icon" src="http://thegreenink.net/wp-content/uploads/image-icon.png" alt="Insert an image in Gmail email" width="28" height="26" /></a> and it's at the top of the area you write in.<a href="http://thegreenink.net/wp-content/uploads/image-icon.png"><br />
</a></div>
<div>
<h2>Now combine these two functions</h2>
</div>
<div>These two functions combined means you can send your actual event invitation (a flyer) along with a digital invitation that recipients/invitees can RSVP to and add to their calendars so as to receive alerts about the event...</div>
<div></div>
