Creating Calendar for Dashboard

Is there a way to create calendar event items and display them in calendar format? I'm trying to create an event calendar to place in a dashboard. Please respond to nfhopkin@us.ibm.com

I did a little experimenting and one good way seems to be by embedding google calendars. Have a look here:

Take the iframe src attribute from the generated HTML snippet, then put that in the External Content viewlet's URL preference. Then you can share the calendar with whoever you like. If you want to make it bigger, you can make a dedicated dashboard tab, switch to 1 column, and remove the trim from the viewlet to make it fill the whole space.

Note - the External Content viewlet was introduced in RTC 3.0.1.
