Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Log into Google Reader. You will have to fill out a form, but it's free.
Google Reader has many features, but let's focus on the calendar.
Step2
Once you have established a free account, go to "My Account." There you will find "Calendar," so click on it.
Step3
Next you will see a screen that has a large calendar. Here you can decide what to call your calendar. If you are creating a personal calendar or one say for sharing with a club or business. Google will allow you to keep more than one calendar.
Step4
There are tabs for daily, weekly, monthly and agenda and print. Fill in those all important dates and save your calendar.
Step5
On the left side, you will see a box that will list all the calendars you have created. Underneath that box is a link titled "Manage Calendars." This is the spot where you can make your calendars accessible to others, create a mobil setup and where you can add things such as weather to your calendar. Here you can also add invitations to view the calendar and set up a notification for those interested, each time the calendar is updated.
Step6
Sharing the calendar can be done in several way. There is a Google Calendar button that will allow visitors at your website or blog to subscribe to your calendar. Or you can copy the actual link and with HTML Code insert the actual calendar at your blog. The size and look of the calendar can be altered to fit your site.
