One of my readers asked for a step-by-step set of instructions to install MyGoogleCal2.php. My original posts for restyling Google Calendar did assume a certain level of expertise. This should hopefully help those who are still confused.
The long awaited new version of MyGoogleCal is here. It supports the new AJAX-enabled Javascript method Google switched to last month. As a bonus, the new version has native support for multiple calendars each with their own colors! Other changes to the code include officially switching from fopen to curl to retrieve the data. Furthermore, the code replaces much less HTML since it’s encapsulated in Javascript. Without further ado…

It’s easy, it can be made public and shareable, and it beats figuring out how to publish an Outlook/Exchange calendar on the web.

The worst part about Google Calendar is that you embed it in your web page using an iframe.
