adding calendars to emails,websites and blogs

Here's a great tip on posting CALENDAR events on your website... I received this from Mary Waldron. Took a little tinkering ( and reading her instructions) but it includes some great features. how about this invitation?
Mary has a link to Tuckanoe. I added calender items to www.mountainlaurel.ponyclub.org and www.dressage4kids.com

Many thanks to Mary for her idea!

Here's Mary's note:
Hi Jeff,

I wanted to see what you thought about Google Calendar. My daughters HS Quizbowl team has their schedule in Google Calendar and I added it to my Google Calendar, which was wonderful. So I set one up for Tuckahoe Pony Club and linked it to the website (the site is still torn apart but you'll see the Google link and the picture gallery):

http://tuckahoe.ponyclub.org

I didn't want everyone to be able to mess with the dates, so I set the account up with the email address dc@tuckahoe.ponyclub.org and our club officers will have the passwords. To display the calendar, you do this (cc'd from the HS techie):

1. When you are looking at the google calendar(s) you've created, on the left side is a bubble called MY CALENDARS listing the different calendars you have (each one color coded).
2. Click on the little arrow to the right of the calendar name, and choose "calendar settings"
3. Scroll down to the section named "Calendar Address" - click on the button called "HTML"
4. a pop-up window will appear with the whole complex web address. You can then save this link as a shortcut or copy/paste the link into an email...etc.

It's an embed command.

I am also very curious about the 'document' feature - that might be helpful too.

Mary Waldman send a note recently about how to post pics and albums to a website.

Let's use the thought about how to have your club members post their stuff where you can link to it... That way they can be responsible for (or lack therof) their own accomplishments and posting. This webstuff gets old when it's a onw-person band...

I like picasa, although Kodak is ok too. I sent this article to Mary and she replied that she figured it out and it worked for her. http://tuckahoe.ponyclub.org/

Other examples at www.mountainlaurel.ponyclub.org and Dressage4kids.com .

Let me know if this works for you, and if I can further clarify how to play with picasa.com

More ideas to follow...
