Embedding a Google Calendar on a Blog

  1. Log into Google calendar at calendar.google.com.
  2. Click on the gear in the upper right hand corner, then select "settings"
  3. Click on "calendars"
  4. Click on the name of the calendar you wish to share
  5. Scroll down to "Embed this calendar"
  6. To customize your calendar, click "Customize the color, size and other options," then copy the HTML at the top of the page
    1. Otherwise, just copy the HTML provided
  7. In Blogger, create a New post
  8. In the upper left hand corner, click HTML
  9. Paste your code
  10. Publish. Your calendar will now be on your blog, and nobody should be able to edit it from there.
Making your calendar public (or else, nobody will be able to see it):

  1. Complete Steps 1-4 above
  2. Click the "Share this calendar" tab.
  3. Check the "Share this calendar with others" checkbox
  4. Check "Make this calendar public"
Anybody who sees it will NOT be able to make changes. You have to explicitly grant permission for others to edit your calendar.

I would have added that earlier, but I didn't know you had to actually share the calendar for other people to see it through embedding (if that makes sense).
