The week can be changed to start on Sunday, just go to your WP General Settings – Week Starts On option.

hi.
i’ve been using wpng-calendar for almost 2 years already. i really need a calendar where to add images to the description of the events, flyers are a big deal for the events posted. also it would be great to be able to highlight events on the list, maybe even just with a different font style. and a better display of the events on the calendar’s page too.
i’m checking the plugin by Kieran O’sheam, but seems it doesn’t support images on the events description, of course no hope for images thunbnails (maybe as bullets) for every event listed.
i really wonder what is the big difficult to add images to the calendars. i’ve been even evaluating the option to leave wordpress, so i found out this cool calendar for joomla http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/calendars-a-events/events/97 which is making me think for real to move to joomla. but before doing the big jump (because i’d had to learn a whole new csm, and i’m not a pro web designer actually) … so i’m trying to give it a last chance to wordpress, searching for possible solutions
soooo… by any chance do you have any idea of a calendar that would suit my needs? a calendar that would consider the adding of images to it. and with more features to custumize it?

thanks in advance for any info you can share with me

Thanks for the write-up and new links Rebecca et co.
I used GigPress on http://rudelyinterrupted.com – it rocks.
However Im now looking for a multi-day events cal (which would be a nice feature to list in your reviews Rebecca), and will follow up on some of the leads here.
The GigPress list view is particularly brilliant, as is the ticket booking links built in.

What is it with calendar geeks who start calendars with a Monday.
I live in the USA where we start our calendars on a Sunday.
I could use some of the above calendars if the geeks who write these plug-ins just allowed my calendars to start on a Sunday.

I am looking to find a calendar plugin that could potentially break down into separate calendars for the users that register to the site.
They would be able to customize this calendar for their specific needs such as showing their availability to 3rd party viewers.
Do you have any idea if something like this is currently available? Or where I could go to see about having something like this developed?
