It allows users to scroll through the entire history of your blog with a slick embedded ajax calendar. You can install it in 60 seconds and it has some nice customization, including the ability to overlay other stuff (like flickr photos)
For those not familiar with 30 boxes, it
- organize your day and your web stuff
- share the things that you want to share (like parts of your schedule on your blog or myspace)
- follow your buddies’ myspace, flickr, webshots, livejournal, heck, any personal blog
Event Calendar
Version 3.1 is now out, fully supported in WP 2.0.x with many new features, included AJAX calendar, ical supported calendar subscription, and several more features and bug fixes. Even before the upgrade, a really good events and calendar plugin, can’t wait to test it out test this version out.
iCal for WordPress
One of the most often sought plugins from my experience, after a photo gallery type one, is a coming events/calendar type plugin. This one offers another option. Though it doesn’t seem to link into the calendar specifically, it allows you to create a special category for coming events, and list them in your sidebar.
The twist to this plugin is that it converts that category feed into an ical type feed that then allows people to subscribe to it in any calendar application that supports the ical protocol, which includes google calendar. That I think is a very nifty feature, and one that I believe many will find useful for WP powered sites that are used for projects, communities, and the like.
Yearsheet
not quite the same vein as the built in calendar, this plugin provides an at a glance view of your blog posts for an entire year. Doesn’t require too much screen-estate, and could be handy in many situations, CMS comes to mind.
Calendar Plugin
Has updated their calendar plugin, which allows for the addition of an event via the admin interface, and then allow your visitors to see the event on the calendar. Also option to alter colors via admin interface allows for easy integration into existing design.
AJAX Calendar
UrbanGiraffe
Recently released, and even more recently updated an AJAX Powered Calendar, one feature that looks handy is the abiity to add a drop down list of post titles in each month. If the plugin is even half as well constructed as the Theme Dissection articles, it should be a winner!
