can't publish - greyed out options

Trying to explore publishing an iCalender for the first time but all my options for publishing are greyed out.

What am I missing out here?
Surely it must be something obvious that i'm overlooking.

Calender>Publish (greyed out along with Unpublish, and Send Publish Email)

Steps to take (one at a time).

1) Be sure there is a calendar selected, and one that isn't one you subscribe to (these grey our publish, etc..).

2) Trash iCal prefs from your user Library: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist

If these don't work, do you use iSync? Come back for more help.

I wasn't clear about something as simple as the selection of the calender. Needed to click on one specific listing in the left window pane under Calendars (duh).

Is there anyway to merge 2 calendars together to form one published one? For example combine Home and Work into one.

Yes. This too is pretty easy.
Export "Home"
Import "Home" into "Work"
Delete "Home"

Will this allow me to have a calendar that combines and differentiates the home marked items from the work marked items by the color coding all within one calendar? So that the published calender will contain any future entries made for either one all contained within the new combined one?

No, if you merely want to publish a combined calendar create a calendar group and put the calendars you want to publish in that group, then publish the group.

I'm frustrated too! I created a group and dragged the calendars into the group, then published the group ---

but now everything is the same color!

Did u ever figure this out??? Would lvoe to know how to get it to 'differentiate' like u said - by maintaining the color coding convention once published on html.
