How to put a calendar on your personal web site ?

This is another most frequently asked question. Many people want some kind of event calendar on their personal web site, to display birth days and other family/friends related private events. Now implementing a calendar is complicated without knowledge of javascript and SQL (you will need some way of storing these dates on the server).

A simple solution is to use Google Calendar.

Google calendar can be embedded on your personal web site. You can also customize the size, shape and appearance of the calendar. It will look like this.

Note that this would be a read only calendar so, if you want to add new dates to it, you would have to log on to http://calendar.google.com with your google account.

Now this beautiful calendar can be embedded in very simple steps

Step 1:

Create a google account and log into http://calendar.google.com, create a new calendar and populate it with events. Do not forget to set permissions for your calendar as Share with everyone.

[Be ware that when you set the permissions to Share with everyone, the events will show up in relevant google calendar searches. If you do not want that, do not use this feature.]

Step 2:

Now all you have to do is go to calendar details, look for embed this calendar, copy the code and paste it into your html at the place where you want to display this calendar
