Add A JavaScript Calendar To Your BloggSpot Blog

The two most common widgets/gadgets you can see on a blog are clock and calendar. Although you would have seen them in most of the blogs hosted on WordPress, but these are rare in Blogger blogs, as Blogger doesn't directly gives you the facility to add them.

You can see my previous post, on how to embed flash clocks, in your blog here.
And this post, I will help you to add a simple calendar.

You can see the live DEMO here.

And here's the code required to add it to your blog:

Log in to Blogger.com
Go to Layout -> Click on "Add a Gadget" -> HTML/JavaScript type.

And copy paste this code in to it:

<style type="text/css">

.month {
background-color:black;
font:bold 12px verdana;
color:white;
}

.daysofweek {
background-color:gray;
font:bold 12px verdana;
color:white;
}

.days {
font-size: 12px;
font-family:verdana;
color:black;
background-color: lightyellow;
padding: 2px;
}

.days #today{
font-weight: bold;
color: red;
}

</style>

document.write(buildCal(curmonth ,curyear, "main", "month", "daysofweek", "days", 1));
</script>

Save the widget, and your blog will be ready with a new calendar !
