2. On the top right of the calendar page click the Settings icon.
3. Open up the My app settings section and click the Calendar link.
4. Under the the Calendar section select Publish Calendar.
5. Click the .ICS link. This downloads the required .ICS file.

Generating your Calendar link from Google

1. Navigate to Settings.
2. Add an identifying name for your calendar.
3. Paste your Calendar's iCal URL into the field.
4. If you are adding more than one calendar, select a calendar color to differentiate between events.
5. Click Add iCalendar to add multiple iCal addresses to be shown on the same Calendar app.
6. Click the image below Default Background to select a background from your own media, our preloaded library, or using Photo Search.
