I saw someone's xanga and they had a calender on the left side of the screen where they could post when they were going out of town, etc. Does anyone know anything about that?

You could try looking here:

(Or if you remember the site, post the url so we can take a look at it.)

I just found it. It's http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=jelly221

i think they typed it in themself with the custom modules.

So then how would I make one?

well, if you want custom modules, then you have to make up those other modules that you want thats already there..check here:

What exactly is a custom module?

theyre like your regular modules but you just personalize it yourself.

nevermind, for the calendar part, i think you should use this other code thats found here:

the 'add in a custom module' code doesn't work.

for the add in one custom module... you CANNOT use HTML in there... and some people say you can only type approximately 15 letters in there...
