Pink for October
While editing in the Blog Publishers category at ODP, I stumbled upon RSS Calendar. It’s a nifty online calendar (similar to iCal or vCal) that takes your events and publishes several RSS feeds from them. There are daily, weekly, and monthly feeds as well as a rolling 30-day feed, a three-month feed, a feed for the year, and an “all events” feed. You can even place events into categories and then get a feed for an individual category; you can also get a snippet of Javascript that allows you to place any given feed on your website. You can allow RSVPs and comments on any event. The event scheduling system is a little bit clunky - in order to schedule something that was planned for the whole weekend, I had to set the event to run from 7pm to 11:55pm Friday, all day Saturday, and then 9:00am to 6:00pm Sunday. A better method would be to allow an end date as well as an end time, to allow for multi-day events. I also don’t see any way to delete single instances of a recurring event, but it doesn’t seem to mind conflicting events.
The two feeds I thought were most important/interesting were my weekly feed and my rolling thirty-day feed. If you’re interested in subscribing to the daily, monthly, or any other feed, let me know - there’s an “invite” feature that allows you to send a feed URL directly to someone. Please let me know if you subscribe to my calendar feeds!
