[edit] What is iCalendar?

iCalendar is the most widely-used standard format for storing and sharing calendar information.

[edit] Why would I use iCalendar?

Storing events in a standard format makes it possible to subscribe to a calendar feed in much the same way that we subscribe to news and blogs via RSS feeds.

[edit] Which applications support the iCalendar standard?

Most popular electronic calendar programs support the standard, including Microsoft Outlook 2007, Windows Vista Calendar, Apple iCal, and Google Calendar. A more exhaustive list of applications with iCalendar support is available on Wikipedia.

[edit] Where can I find some example iCalendar feeds?

The Apple iCalendar Library is a free source for many useful iCalendar feeds, including major holidays, movie release dates, and professional sports team schedules.

[edit] How do I add a new calendar?

To add a new calendar to FuseCal™:

1. Find an iCalendar file on the web. If you don't know where to look, the Apple iCalendar Library is a good place to start.
2. Copy the url to the file.
3. Paste the url into FuseCal™.
4. You have added a new calendar!

[edit] What are tags good for?

FuseCal™ includes tagging functionality that allows you to subscribe to multiple calendars in a single feed.

1. Add tags to your calendars separated by a comma.
2. Click the new link that appears in the feed list.

[edit] How do I choose events for subscription?

If you would like to subscribe to a select group of events within a calendar, you should:

1. Click on the calendar name in your calendar list.
2. Select the events you would like to subscribe to. You can use the shift and control keys to select multiple events at the same time.
3. Now drag the events to the "Subscribed Events" list with your mouse.
