This topic came up over on SharePoint.StackExchange.com, and I thought I'd share here too. You may want to setup a single page to view multiple calendars.

I decided to hurry up and do it thanks to a question on MSDN forums. Special thanks to Stefan Bauer for the starting of some great code! I've... Continue Reading →
A nice new feature in SharePoint 2010 is the ability to roll up multiple calendars into one, and color code them. In previous versions of SharePoint, this was something that was only doable with third-party products or some serious jQuery. Consider the following scenario. The sales department of Contoso has a single calendar they use... Continue Reading →
A while back I whipped together some web parts for assisting in troubleshooting and managing some elements in SharePoint 2007 which wasn't easy to do then.
