I really like the mini calendar in my .mac group, It allows me ( andmy family) to easily see and access any events in my ical calendar.

My question, how can I get a mini calendar like that in my public web page (which is hosted on my .mac account)?

I'm an amateur web designer so bear with me.

Thanks in advance!

Since no one else is offering, I'll throw in my $0.02.

I can't imagine how you could recreate Apple's calendar on your personal page and share data from iCal with others. But, if you're looking for an alternative, you might just want to consider a PHP calendar for your site. Of course you'll have to input the items in manually, as opposed to pulling from iCal, but you can also give permissions to others to put in their own info, even without a dot Mac account.

Even with my limited skills I was able to add the richly feature, albeit ridiculously named, Easily Simply Calendar to one of my web sites. It's not free, but so far it's worked very well.

Can you publish the calendar then add it to your web page via iFrame?

I've stumbled on those PHP calendars. I was wondering how they were. Thanks for the info.

I don't think Apple runs PHP on .mac - you'll need to find a separate webhost to do that.
Computer thez nohhh...
