Publishing Your Google Calendar is WAY TOO COMPLICATED

Official Google Blog: Publishing your Google Calendar

Posted by David Marmaros, Google Calendar Tech Lead

Lots of people already use Google Calendar to stay organized and schedule their lives, and that’s great. But maybe you want to publicize an event for a group of people — say you’re the captain of a dragonboat racing team who needs to coordinate the practice and race schedule for your crew. Possibly you’re a soccer fanatic who wants to publish all the 2006 FIFA World Cup matches. Or maybe you’d like to publish a calendar of cool events around town to share with friends.

Now you can get the word out to anyone, because we just added a new publishing feature that lets you show an interactive calendar to others — even if they don’t use Google Calendar. All calendars now have a simple web page that you can point people to, and you can even incorporate one into your own website, profile page or blog. A few quick steps and you’ll be ready to show others what’s going on in your world.

Unfortunately, this process requires several steps through well hidden submenus. It should be a checkbox default on the calendar page and the URL should be visible there.
