Hello,
This is a great calendar software product and we should continue to provide feedback on how to improve it. However, the Main Events Screen or [b]the main front page [/b] should show event listings not the dates.

People come to sites to see Events not the dates in particular. You can just have a small calendar there on the side o fthe screen. So, using all the whole screen just to show/display all these dates is not not ideal and is not using the User interface very wisely. So, use the front end to display all events in a listing manner or you can just display the events of the day or the week. Here are some good examples.

This one is ideal

As you can see , events listings are the main focus of the front end not the dates.

Also, it's a great idea to have an image upload feature (a picture is worth a thousand words)

Thanks

Thank you for the suggestions, but please keep in mind that what is "right" to one person may not be to another. Alternate calendar views have been discussed (and customized) previously, but there is no consensus on one variation being better than another, and most people want such things to be highly tailored to their specific application. As such, it's my opinion that the best approach is a very calendar standard presentation by default with the ability to customize fairly easily.

Cheers,
Dan
