Store-bought calendars can be gorgeous, but they lack a certain something: your photos. Why build your year around someone else's photos when you can build it around your own? With the calendar-publishing features in iPhoto, you can create calendars containing as few as 12 months and as many as 24. Choose from numerous design themes, each of which formats your photos and the dates of the month in a different way. Then drag photos into your calendar, fine-tuning their cropping along the way, if you like. Commercial calendars usually have national holidays printed on them. Yours can, tooand then some. You can add your own milestones to your calendar: birthdays, anniversaries, dentist-appointment reminders. If you use Apple's iCal software (page 106), you can even import events from iCal and have them appear in your calendar. When you're finished, click the Buy Calendar button. iPhoto transfers your photos and design to Apple's printing service, which prints your calendar and ships it to you. A 12-month calendar costs $19.99. Each additional month is $1.49. And you don't have to postpone your foray into calendar publishing until next year. You can have your calendar begin with any month you like.
