Microsoft Office Live Small Business Community

I'd like to be able to make a page that is a calendar. Where I can show my available time slots. And add specials with time limits. Any chance this may be available in the future?

Hi Sarah,

Do you mean a static calendar, where you have a month view and for each day, you list out the blocks of time you are available?  It's simply for displaying and not for making appointment bookings, correct?

Hope this helps!

That's it. Just to show open time slots. maybe with different colors or something.

There are two easy ways without messing too much with coding:

1. A more graphical way exists if you have Microsoft Outlook.  With it, you can publish a calendar as a webpage and you can upload that to your Documents folder and link to it from your main webpage.  The published calendar is also highly functional.  If you desire a simple, static calendar, you can always use Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher to create them.  Both include templates for making very nice looking, professional calendars.  Again, these will need to be uploaded to the Documents folder.  This approach requires more manual updating of the calendar webpage from you.
2. Another way uses the calendar list in the team workspace business application and publishing it using the list publisher module.  When you mark this calendar though, you mark your open time slots on it rather than the usual of marking it when you have an appointment.  This approach simply gives you a list of open time slots you have, without the graphical monthly view as in the above option.  However, you do not need to re-upload or change the calendar webpage since whenever you update the calendar in the team workspace, your calendar webpage gets will always have the latest informaiton.

Hope this helps!

I've tried those suggestions with no luck.  Any other suggestions?  I uploaded the calendar in my documents and it shows as "Page Not Found" after saving as webpage.

Help!

Thanks

Hi TailoredMaid,

Which calendar are you referring to?  Did you save a calendar from Outlook and made it into a webpage?   When saving a calendar as a webpage in Outlook, there are multiple files you need to make it work (some are graphical files, others are for supporting the interactive calendar).  Are you sure you uploaded everything?  I can take a look if you send me the link to your calendar page.

Hope this helps!

I opened a Google account for our association and then publish it to our calendar page using the instructions provided from the Google site.  Check it out at www.briarwood-mashpee.org.  Let me know what you think.  It works great for us as it's a real time calender that stays current and has different selectable views.
