Troubleshooting: Check your calendar settings

Just a couple of things I have discovered as more people started using myspaceGcal.

A.) Your calendar MUST be set to public, otherwise the swf will hang on "Loading..." To do this:
  1. Open your Google calendar https://www.google.com/calendar
  2. Click on "Settings" in the upper right corner
  3. Click on the "Calendars" tab
  4. Under "My Calendars" click on the calendar you want to share
  5. Click "Share this calendar"
  6. Select "Make this calendar public" and save.
B.) Be sure to set your timezone correctly, otherwise your calendar may show incorrect dates and start times.
  1. Open your Google calendar https://www.google.com/calendar
  2. Click on "Settings" in the upper right corner
  3. Click on the "Calendars" tab
  4. Under "My Calendars" click on the calendar you want to modify
  5. Under "Calendar Time Zone", set the timezone to the timezone of your region.
