I run my own site that has no blog outlets except for a program called coronto and I was wondering how in the world to make a Calendar that would up, or highlight a number of a certain date when I posted.

Does anyone know anything about those?? o_O;;

Really stupid question... but what are blogs?

i asked that not to long ago. its like a journal you put online and people can comment about what ur entries say.

Thanks... sounds like a good idea.

Hey Kiwi,

I am not really sure what Coronto is...but as far as Calendar's go, they are usually controlled by a CGI Script. Most Bloggers use one of three popular program (although there are many more).

My personal favorite is: Movable Type (http://www.movabletype.org)

There is also:

Blogger (http://www.blogger.com)

and

GreyMatter (http://www.noahgrey.com/greysoft/)

Both MT & GreyMatter require you to run custom CGI Scripts on your own server. While blogger is run from a central server (so you will not have to install or configure it).

Hope this helps,
Erica

You can also make them by hand using tables.

But then it won't be updated automatically (i.e. you would have to link each date individually). But of course tables are an option. The code for the Movable Type Calendar looks like this:


<div align="center" class="calendar">

<table border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" summary="Monthly calendar with links to each day's posts">
<caption class="calendarhead"><$MTDate format="%B %Y"$></caption>
<tr>
<th abbr="Sunday" align="center"><span class="calendar">Sun</span></th>
<th abbr="Monday" align="center"><span class="calendar">Mon</span></th>
<th abbr="Tuesday" align="center"><span class="calendar">Tue</span></th>
<th abbr="Wednesday" align="center"><span class="calendar">Wed</span></th>
<th abbr="Thursday" align="center"><span class="calendar">Thu</span></th>
<th abbr="Friday" align="center"><span class="calendar">Fri</span></th>
<th abbr="Saturday" align="center"><span class="calendar">Sat</span></th>
</tr>

<MTCalendar>
<MTCalendarWeekHeader><tr></MTCalendarWeekHeader>

<td align="center"><span class="calendar">
<MTCalendarIfEntries><MTEntries lastn="1"><a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTCalendarDay$></a></MTEntries></MTCalendarIfEntries><MTCalendarIfNoEntries><$MTCalendarDay$></MTCalendarIfNoEntries><MTCalendarIfBlank> </MTCalendarIfBlank></span></td><MTCalendarWeekFooter></tr></MTCalendarWeekFooter></MTCalendar>
</table>

</div>

I highly recommend MT if your server supports it. If you are using a free server, then you can always check out Blogger.

HTH,
Erica
