Colorado Avalanche Schedule and Gadget
I've converted my Colorado Avalanche web event calendar into a Google Homepage Gadget! The same content that is available as an icon in your Google Calendar can now be viewed on your Google Customized homepage or your own webpage. A Google Desktop Gadget is coming soon.
Google Calendar Web Events for Colorado Avalanche
After a lot of practice and some failed efforts, I've finally managed to convert the Colorado Avalanche season schedule from a standard calendar to web events. First of all, it saves a ton of real estate. The calendar is much less cluttered now. Second, it allows me to populate the events with dynamic data stored in a mysql database on my web server, making updates a snap. Also, it just looks cool to have the little Av's icon there instead of a big chunky block.
Yes, I know the season is almost over. Yes, I know the Av's have been nearly eliminated from post-seson play, but imagine how nice this will be NEXT season!
Also, it goes without saying that this enhancement wouldn't have been possible without help. Early versions of web events for this calendar were published using Michael Bolin's Web Content Wizard. Thanks for the head start, Michael!
