Note that not all calendaring applications support internet calendar subscriptions. We will be covering two of the more popular ones that do, Apple iCal and Microsoft Outlook 2007.

Apple iCal

Select “Subscribe…” from the “Calendar” menu. Paste the calendar URL and click “Subscribe“.

Now choose a name (enter a description if you would like.) You should also select an auto-refresh interval so the calendar will self-update. Just hit OK and you’re done.
