I won't recommend it  :-(  but our website's "Calendar" link points to a Google Doc spreadsheet.  Ugly as all get out, does not match the website theme, BUT the
non-geeks who do booking can find the right cell and put the information in.  I'm looking at ways to harvest the information and put it into something a little more pretty, but our website is stuck back in the 1980's (static HTML, and no stylesheets), and I have reason to believe our officers like the 1980's.

Hi there web folks,

I want to talk about calendars! Yes, I do.

Specifically, how various folks post their dance calendar on their site, and whether your calendar is shared with others.

At Monadnock Folklore (http://www.monadnockfolk.org), we use WordPress and a plug-in called Event Calendar. It has the advantage of using the ICAL standard (nothing to do with Apple). which means that other local groups can use our "feed." See http://monadnockartsalive.org/content/local-events as an example.

I wonder about a national contra dance calendar hub, accepting feeds from everywhere. Call me a dreamer!

What do others do?

Best regards,
Lisa
