Having trouble keeping track of your calendar? Need yet another way to be reminded of the important events in your life? RSSCalendar makes it (pretty) easy to insert your calendar onto any webpage you have any control over, and voila! yet another way to keep track of (or publicize) what’s going on in your life (or your organization’s life as the case may really be). RSSCalendar is a free service that allows you to add events to a calendar, and then gives you a line of code that you can paste into your website that shows your calendar events as an RSS feed.
In addition to posting your RSS calendar to your website, you can also add the feed to your feed reader so that your personal calendar is one of the feeds you are regularly monitoring (as if you needed another reminder of that upcoming dentist appointment). And of course, since you can add the RSS calendar to your own feed, you can also invite others to have your feed on their feed readers. This could be great for friends, or maybe even for a group of patrons that you wanted to keep abreast of library events - say book readings, graduate student workshops, or teen gatherings. While I am still on the lookout for a cool calendar widget that displays as a calendar (but doesn’t hog my whole webpage), RSSCalendar is at least just one click away from that possibility.
