Getting started with Yahoo Calendar

Now you have your Yahoo Calendar created, let's look at getting started with it and setting up your preferences. 

To start, log in to your Yahoo account and click on the "Calendar" tab located on the top menu. 

The default view displays the current month, with today's date highlighted. Along the top menu of the calendar, you can toggle between different views such as "Day," "Week," "Month" and "Agenda," which provides a list-style layout of upcoming events.

Yahoo Calendar offers the ability to customize your user experience by adjusting preferences such as language options, color themes and layout. 

To access these settings, click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the calendar and select "Settings" from the drop-down menu. Within the settings tab, you can choose your preferred language and date format under the "General" section. Additionally, you can customize your working hours and set your preferred start day of the week under the "Week" section.

To personalize the appearance of your Yahoo Calendar, click on the "Themes" tab within the settings menu. Here, you can choose from a variety of color schemes to match your preference, such as Light, Dark or High Contrast. The theme you select will instantly be applied to your calendar, providing a visual experience that suits your taste. 

If you'd like to modify the layout of the calendar, you can do so by adjusting the "View" options found on the top menu. Experiment with different view settings to find the best fit for your scheduling needs.
