How to publish browser-vieable iCal calendar - gone with MobileMe?

I've searched here and elsewhwere online unsuccessfully and I'm hoping somebody can help with this.

In the MobileMe days, you could publish an iCal calendar and it would not only provide a subscription link, but a browser-viewable online calendar to which the published iCal source was synced - you get two links; a link to subscribe and a link to view the calendar as HTML in a browser. Now with iCloud and the end of website hosting via Mac.com/MobileMe, it appears this function is gone from with in the iCal application itself, so I'm looking for a way to (free) publish my syncronized iCal calendar online so it is browser-viewable, instead of the only option I'm finding thus far being publish options to separate servers - which only publishes the subscription link, where the person wanting to view it would have to add it to their iCal or Google calendar or whatever.

Has anyone else found a solution now that MobileMe is less than 30 days from extinction?

This actually isn't a similar problem (the OP was asking about publishing to a web page, not syncing) and it would be better if you asked this in a new thread. I should title it something like 'Syncing iCal with Google Calendar' to get attention.

I was having the problem also. I found two workarounds that sorta solved the problem.

1. Doodle.com. The MyDoodle feature publishes a calendar on a website that people can use. It works very nicely except it only offers week view. Additionally, it only shows your "free/busy" time. Still, this is my preference since I don't necessarily want people to know where I am all the time. Doodle synchronizes with your existing calendars automatically using the Doodle-iCal Connector free. This has been the best solution for me.

2. Google Calendar with BusySync. Create a Google Calendar and use BusySync to sync your iCloud calendars to Google Calendar. Then you can create html code and paste it into a website. This would be good for a class.

I find this change EXTREMELY frustrating. It has created a big problem for me. The lack of web viewable calendars has really hogtied me after using this system well for a year. Also the google calendar's functionality for sharing with others without a google profile is abismal. I'm really disapointed that my new Ipad is pretty much not going to be as funstiocal as I wanted it to be now.

I found another way too... I made a wordpress and exported the google calendar in a box.... three steps later my calendar is viewable...lamer than the old easy way. Cheers Apple.
