Calendars can be hard-coded by HTML programmers to include lists of events. A more effective way to do this is to use a database and graphical interface to do it for you. Simply, this means something that looks like a diary, which can accept event information and can store this information in a database.

The picture below shows the graphical user interface (that's a posh way of saying "what you see"). When a user clicks on a date, they are given an oportunity to enter their details. Once complete, they are emailed to ensure that their email address is valid and asked to activate their entry.

This calendar example shows the diary feature of Virtual Contact Manager. You must sign up to view the calendar feature on that site.
