Requirement: You will need a Google Account for this. You can create a new one here: https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount

  1. Go to https://www.google.com/calendar
  2. Click the down arrow right beneath the calendar you want to share and choose "Calendar settings"
  3. There is a row called Embed this calendar: Click on "Customize the color, size, and other options" to customize the calendar's style to your needs. (If you're familiar with HTML, you also can manipulate the HTML code directly.
  4. Now copy the HTML-Code to the Clipboard by pressing Ctrl+C (Mac: Cmd+C).
  5. And paste it into the source-code of your webpage (for example by using a web editor like Dreamweaver or a Blogging software like WordPress or Blogger).
