Announcing my tutorial on using dates (and times) in org-mode

[Charles Cave]

I am pleased to announce the publication of my tutorial
on using date and times in org-mode.   Carsten has reviewed
the first draft and I have incorporated his suggestions.

Please send me your comments and I will make a second edition.

In section 3.1 there are two more keys for moving the date.  M-S-left
and M-S-right moves backwards and forwards by a month respectively.

Nice job!

Great work Charles!  This is probably a stupid question, but did you
create the webpage using org-mode?  If so, any chance of seeing the
source?  I am also thinking of publishing some tutorials (not related
to org-mode).

Thanks,
Adam
