Online calendars

iCal is my main software base for scheduling.I get asked frequently how I incorporate calendars and event lists into some of the websites that I design. It’s really pretty simple after you’ve worked through the process once. I use CalendarHub for event lists (it’s free!), I was using Trumba for MonticelloLive’s community calendar (a paid service, but full of features). Recently, I’ve been using Airset for several projects, especially for coordinating a calendar with lots of folks. It works great for church use, but its learning curve for the casual user is steep. It’s not very intuitive (aka, very un-Maclike).

Here’s an excellent article on dozens of other online calendar options out there.

Here’s an article related to this that I wrote a while back.

  • Good article. I’m currently using the .Mac iCal web publishing feature, but when my .Mac subscription expires I won’t be renewing and I’ll be checking out the sites you mentioned.

  • Yup, pretty much same thing happened here. I just got tired of paying for .Mac when they are so many excellent FREE solutions out there!

  • Jeff – I agree. Especially now that someone has won the NotMac challenge, it’s making less and less sense to pay for .Mac. It’s great that I’m not paying $100 for a gig of storage (which was utterly ridiculous) but other than that it’s not worth it.

  • On the subject of calendars, the new version of iCal is simply great. The integration with Mail and Address book is fantastic.
