Les ... this is a cool idea, but I've gone to WordPress (fomr their site and from my own server) and LiveJournal test areas and did NOT get the [hcal] to appear. Don't know why ... but it just doesn't seem to work. I hope their's a simple explanation .. like Operator Error! - that can easily get the [hcal] up and running.

Thanks ..

The movie looks cool but the script doesn't work with the actual GM. Too bad, I really want to use that feature.

A version that works in GM 0.6.4 would be nice

Very cool. If hCalendar gets popular, Upcoming.org could scrape events off of websites instead of people entering them directly into Upcoming.

Nice screencast - didn't realize SnapZ did this.

Is there any way to go back and re-edit a form once you have filled it in, or is hacking the hCalendar parser left as an exercise to the reader?

(thinking of all of the other things that could be done with this kind of approach!)

For your next trick, how about a Greasemonkey script to detect hCal and add a link to a vCal file to add it to Apple's calendar program? You know, the one whose name would be one-too-many-lower-case-letter-followed-by-Cal's for this comment.
