Trans Calendar

[ganimede]

I'm making up a calendar of Trans events to put on my website and I have two queries.

1 - are there any events that I'm missing? I'm mostly wanting UK based ones, European ones are okay if they're for the whole of Europe, not just for a specific European country, and International ones are fine. This is the list of events that I have so far:

Sorry i cant add any to your list but i must say i was not aware there was so much uk stuff going on! i think its a great idea you putting them on your site will you also be putting up dates and where they are too?

This one: Transgender Conference - University of East Anglia intrests me because im guessing thats in cambridge so not to far from me is it open to the public?

I'll be putting up as much information as I can about the events, so dates, location and links to websites.

That conference is actually in Norwich on 3-5 September. There's information at http://transgender-advice.com/2010dates.html. As far as I'm aware, it is open to the public.

Good news is that IDAHO became trans inclusive last year. It's now the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.

Oh, that is very good new indeed! Thanks for the info.

Just a small thing, but this year is the Transgender Europe Third Transgender Council, not the second. I just updated it on T-Vox too. I don't know of any other happenings that you haven't already got, though, nor a good free web calendar, sadly. :(

Oh, I know, I just pasted it in from the list I had and forgot to change it.

I've found lots of webcalendars, but very few of them will embed into a site; most are only available on the original site so you have to link to it which isn't what I want. I found localendar.com which looked good but then I found out after I signed up that it's US only. To the point that you have to pick a time zone and doesn't allow for any that aren't in the US. Grr. The only other one I've been able to find is from keepandshare.com. That one looks even better because it has the option of different views so you can have it show a list of events rather than a month view that's empty!

Double grr to localendar. keepandshare looks pretty good though, from what I can see without signing up. I vote for that one! I can't wait to see all these shiny updates on your site.

Well, I signed up to keepandshare.com and the calendar does look pretty good, and you can customise it lots of different ways. However, it's driving me nuts because when I put the information into it, every so often it will just show up with all the coding on my site. It looks fine on the keepandshare site which means that I have to check every single time I put information in. I have no idea what it is that screws it up either, so even when it's showing up as code, I don't know how to fix it, other than delete it and post it again and again and again until it works.

It looks like I might be better off just typing it all up as a big list which was exactly what I didn't want to do.
