New feature for WordPress.com sites – add Google docs and calendars

30th May 2011 by clare white

The announcement from WordPress that users can embed Google calendars and docs is great news.

We often get asked whether we can add calendars to blogs and there hasn’t been a very simple way until now. Google calendars can be a bit clunky and fiddly, but is still better than nothing. The rest of the Google Docs suite is incredibly useful for things like collaborative spreadsheets and documents if you need a quick and simple way to pull together information.

Read the announcement and tutorials for more details and we’d be keen to hear about any creative or inspiring ways that you could use this new feature.

    At long last! One of the first things people creating community websites with WordPress.com often ask us is ‘how do we create an events calendar?’ and there has been no easy answer until now. I’ve known some to go with other platforms such as blogspot precisely so they can have a simple, easy to update and share events calendar on their site – http://allerdragonflyer.blogspot.com/ being just one example. This is great news. 🙂

    Smart move to combine the WordPress powerhouse with the growing demand for Google Docs and Apps. Will be interesting to see the uptake on this.
