Thanks for the help. I just might make my own as you suggested. I was just hoping I could be lazy and avoid it.... But I do appreciate the help and the coding start.

I say this a lot, but it's always better to use a bespoke solution designed specifically for your needs.

Creating a calendar is actually quite easy, simply establish how many days are in a month, then loop through that month for the set number of days. For instance, heres how you do it in PHP. (roughly... its untested so may have code errors... it's late).

<?php

$monthdays = array('01' => '31', '02' => '28', '03' => '31'); //etc
$monthnames = array('01' => 'Jan', '02' => 'Feb'. '03' => 'March');

foreach($monthday as $name => $days) {

    echo("<p>$monthnames[$name]</p>");
    echo("<table>");

    $i = 1;
    while ($i <= 10) {
        $i++;
        echo("<tr><td>$i</td></tr>") 
    }

    echo("</tables>");


}

?>

Of course, you need to take into account leap years and things like that but it's easy enough using a combination of php's mktime and date functions.

Once you have that setup you can link each day to a html file, text file or a page that queries a database for events. Pretty simple huh?
