More About Jeff...

As a church planter/pastor/graphic designer, he often feels like a "jack of all trades, master of none." He began blogging back in September of 2005 and has thoroughly enjoyed sharing about life, faith, Macs, and general silliness. Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome

Coming from the pine woods of Southeast Arkansas, this blog hopes to influence your thinking while making you laugh, converting you to a Mac user, and in the end, perhaps nudging you on your spiritual journey. Take off your boots and enjoy the warmth as you read some Notes from the Trail.

Online calendars

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

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.

  2. Jeff Says:

    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!

  3. Dustin Says:

    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.
