6. 6.Select MobileMe (set by default)

7. There are a lot of check boxes to check or uncheck depending on what you want

8. Hit Publish

9. Hit visit and copy the url of the calendar (or simply copy the “Be viewed at”)

10. Go to iWeb, and create a new page

11. Add HTML Snippet and add the following code

“<iframe src=”http://ical.me.com/username/TitleOfMyCalendar” width=”750″ frameborder=”1″ height=”1100″></iframe>”

12. Change the  http://ical.me.com/username/TitleOfMyCalendar  to your calendar.

13. Change the width and height settings to fit your page.

14. If there’s not enough room, thus the calendar doesn’t fully display on the page, increase the content width of the page by going to Inspector, PageTab, Layout, Content Width.

A simple rule I’ve learnt over time, with backups.

3 Backup copies of anything you want to keep.
2 different storage media.
1 offsite storage site.

3
There have been times when I’ve gone to grab a file from backup, and “Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”, it’s missing/corrupted.
With 3 copies, you greatly improve your chances of recovery.  You’re going to make 2 copies anyway, because …

2
Different storage media types means CD/DVD and/or Disk and/or Tape Online Backup and/or Online Backup.
Because.
Because one of those media types will fail on you.

• CD/DVD – I’ve seen CD/DVD media “bubble”., rendering the disc unreadable.
• Disk to Disk – my favourite method, but hard drives have been known to fail regularly.
• Tape – Does anyone use tape for home backup anymore?
• Online Backup – I can’t see any of these failing.  Unless you have not backed ALL your files up to the online service.

So pick two different media types to backup to.  I use Disk to Disk and CD/DVD.

1
If you have a fire, and you’ve stored your backups next to your (now melted) computer, then your backups are of no use to you.
Keep a copy of your backups at a relatives house.
Or a bank deposit box.
Or even better, use an online backup service.

Even though this is not directly linked to iWork I thought it was useful for the iWork user.

So I was in a One to One this morning and the customer wanted to see how to download
a file.  I took him to the Downloads section of the Apple site and noticed something
called MagicPrefs.

Turns out it's a program that allows you setup additional functionality for the
Magic Mouse.  I've had people ask about whether it will activate Exposé and
Dashboard like the Mighty Mouse, this seems to be the trick.  Looks like it even
allows for zooming and and out like the iPhone and the laptops.

For those interested and still love the features of iMovie HD here is a link to a download for that application.
