2011 – 2012 Football schedules available on MarkThisDate.com

The 2010 – 2011 season is hardly over but the European FA’s start posting their 2011 – 2012 football schedules.

Great iCal Validator to test your ics files

We get a lot of questions regarding the workings of iCal files (.ics). iCal files are the food for calendar apps. Calendar apps understand these files as having event related information in them (compare browser and .html). If you want to compose your own ics file first read the RFC. If you have written your ics file make sure to run it by the iCal validator. After you ran the validator and still have problems or questions don’t hesitate to contact us.
