Embedding Google Calendar on a Website

Video Transcript

So, now I'm going to tell you how you can embed your Google calendar on your website or blog. It's just another cool feature of Google calendar. Uh, and the reason this would be useful is if say, you have a small business who you had like, you taught like cooking classes or something. Uh, you can create your Google calendar and list all of your cooking classes and then you can go ahead and embed that on your business website and that will be right there on your website for people to see. They wouldn't necessarily have to, you know be a Google calendar user and search for the calendars to find it. They can see it right there on your website. So to do this, um say this is the calendar I want to share. I will just go to my options and then uh calendar settings and then you want to be under your calendar details and then down here you will see embed this calendar. So, they have the code right here that you would need to enter in to your blog or website and that's just a default code. Uh, but if you click right here you can actually customize it. And this is probably the best way to do it. So you can customize the title, and then choose what you wanted to show, show title, navigation buttons, date, tabs, calendar list. And you can choose the default view; you want it to go by weekly, monthly or by agenda. Then you can choose the width and height, especially useful if you are trying to fit it to your own personal website. I'm just going to make it a little bit smaller and you can see it over here, it's um you might of not been able to see while I was over here but as I am changing these options, its showing me what exactly what it's going to look like when I embed it. It's just pretty cool. So, just like some other calendar options you have you can choose the weeks it starts on, your language, and this is a little bit different, you can choose the background color, its just changes this color up here. Maybe you can set it to match your blog or website. And then you can actually add a small border and then you can choose calendars to display and when I click this new calendars I'm adding that to this but it still under this cooking classes title I entered up here so I can add multiple of my calendars to it. I can set the time zone by default on my time zone. So, once I've got the way I like it the code is constantly updating this little box up here and to get it on to the blog or website or even like my space I'm just going to copy it and then I'm on just blogger here, just show you what it looks like I would be posting the new post and I will just paste in that code that they gave me. And if you have a business website you would ask you web master, if you don't know how to do it so put this code in for you. But there it is, you see my calendar right there. And it s functional too, which is really cool you just, you can click on events and see more details about it. Takes you over to another window. You can actually change the view, so it's a really cool thing that you can have on your blog or website for other people to use and see what's coming up like you can, like if you are a band or something too this will be a good thing when you update your Google calendar it will update on your website too. So, that's a pretty cool thing that's how you embed your Google calendar on the blog, website or even a site like my space.
