NOTE: If you have a website, this is a great way to share your calendar information. To allow other users to subscribe to your calendar feed, first publish it to your FTP server by following the above steps, then create a link to the file on your website. Make sure the URL protocol for the link is changed from "http" to

"webcal" for iCal files, e.g. "webcal://www.andalib.com/calendar.xml"

"calendarfeed" for XML files, e.g. "calendarfeed://www.andalib.com/calendar.xml"

You may include a link on your website to Andalib.com to help users subscribe to your feed. If you do not know how to create links on your website, contact your web server administrator.
