- Lessons Learned the Hard Way:
- Must be Public for all to see - If you insert a calendar into your
Google Site and it is not set to "Public" people will only see that you
have an appointment, but will not be able to see what it is.
- Must be in "your domain" - If you insert a Google
Doc or Form into a Site that you created with your "your domain" apps account
then only people who are a part of "your domain" will be able to see it, even if
you set it to public (unless you invite them specifically as
collaborators). This happens even if the Google Site is set to be
viewable by everyone in the world!
