Josh Wardell’s MINI Cooper S

I’ve moved my Northeast MINI events calendar over to Google Calendar and with it comes many benefits. The previous version started with iCal on my computer and required me to export and upload the calendar to my web site each time I wanted to update it.

Now I can update it from anywhere. But more importantly, people can access it in many more ways. Of course you can read its web page. If you use google calendar yourself, you can then easily include it in your own calendar. Additionally, google generates an iCal calendar that you can subscribe to. There is also an XML/RSS version.

Also as you see above, it can be embedded in a web page. (Anyone can do this, follow the instructions in the calendar under HTML sharing) I’ve also done this in a list view within the left sidebar of the site.

This is all in an effort to promote the excellent MINI events we have here in the Northeast. It makes more people aware of them no matter how big or small, and also makes it easier for us to keep track with the deluge of events come summertime.

If you wish to see an event on the calendar that is not, just let me know via email or post a thread about it in MINI2. And of course let me know what you think below!
