Website Calendar Options
Recently, I had to implement an events calendar on a website I was working on. My first idea was to find an open source package written in PHP. I did some Web searching and found the following:
After thinking about this a bit more, though, I opted for an online calendar. The two that I like best are:
Both of these calendars allow you to create a frame that you can insert into a Web page. I chose the SpongeCell calendar because it allows you to specify background and text colors. This capability makes it look like the calendar is actually part of my website website.
Another reason I went with this approach is that these calendars have more features than the PHP calendars. For example, they both will map a location.
These calendar services are really very good. Unless you need a very specialized calendar, there’s really no reason to build it yourself anymore.
