Site Profile
Description: This site is devoted to showing American history in a unique way: through a user-friendly web calendar. Birthdays of people in American history as well as events in American history can be viewed using these AJAX enabled calendars. Events can be downloaded and loaded into your iCal compliant calendar program (click on the subscribe icon at the top of the calendar). There is a print button on the calendar that allows you to create a printer friendly calendar. RSS feeds are also available that display the week's birthdays and events.Case Study: This site was built using Joomla 1.5 and utilizes Zap Calendar for the calendar display and iCal and RSS feeds. Zap Calendar is a native Joomla 1.5 calendar application.
What a neat idea. I think this site brings history one step closer to the kids (or adults) learning it and the map is just BRILLIANT! Sometimes I search for hours trying to find a map to illustrate a historical point, now I know where to go.
