I get asked so often how I made my calendar that you see on the sidebar of my site that I finally decided to write up this little tutorial to direct people to. Firstly it is hand-coded purely in HTML, it isn’t a fancy PHP script as a lot of people assume. It is a basic table with images and title tags, simple.

Nick has now created me this wonderful little script that means you can generate the base calendar code, without having to hand code it yourself!

Now pick the event you want to add and find a smilie to represent it (I recommend Mazeguy), then simply replace the number with the image code. For example to add my birthday to March find:

/* Code block */
20

Replace with:
/* Code block */
<img src="http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/holiday/birthday.gif" TITLE="March 20th - Starlet of Swaymyway.com's birthday" >

Tada!
