Fun with Oracle Calendar
I've placed a little link to my Oracle Calendar agenda in my list of links. You can do this too! It's easy (if somewhat goofy in method).
Log in to Calendar@Case (I'm not sure you can do this with a native client, so the web client will have to do).
Just above the entries in your agenda, you should see "E-mail Agenda to a Friend". If you don't see this, go to the Preferences (the checkbox icon), and in the Security tab, select Allow Global Agenda Viewing and select OK. Now you should be able to send agendas.
Now you're at a page asking you to enter the e-mail address of someone to send your agenda to. Enter your own e-mail address. In a few minutes, check your e-mail. You should have a message from yourself titled "Global Agenda". The text of the message is a URL. That goes to a read-only, somewhat limited view of your calendar (it merely lists meetings as "Busy", and doesn't give locations or anything like that).
You can also change to a different view, such as daily or monthly, rather than the weekly default. You can then take the URL of the page you're looking at, and copy that into the links area of your index file, or wherever else you want...
I was going to post this little tip last week, but since Oracle completely changed the URLs used in the move from 5.4 to 9.0.4.2, I decided to wait until the new version was in place.

With a little inline frame trickery, you could actually embed your calendar in your blog. But, sizing and styling would take trickery.
