Read the update blog post here
I have found a little bit of time last night to create few calendar icons.
You can now download the source file of icons for gimp (http://gimp.org).

HTML Code for one icon
<div class="calendar calendar-icon-10">
<div class="calendar-day">26</div>
</div>I have 12 classes, calendar-icon-X where X is the number of the month. In each calendar-icon-X is background image of the month.
Main Calendar CSS Code
.calendar {
float: left;
margin-right: 6px;
width: 42px;
height: 42px;
}CSS Code for one icon
#content .calendar-icon-10 {
background: url('calendar/10.gif');
}CSS Code for day
.calendar-day {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.3em;
color: #000;
width: 42px;
text-align:center;
padding-top: 14px;
}Insert all css classes (above) to your style.css file. Open up your node.tpl.php file and add there:
<div class="calendar calendar-icon-<?php print Date("m", $node->created) ?>">
<div class="calendar-day"><?php print Date("j", $node->created) ?></div>
</div>Icons are FREE! Enjoy and post some comments where you are using them if so. ;)
Suggestions and comments welcome.

Great work. I've implemented your calendar icons into my WP Blog and now it looks great.

I looked for these for ages, and these are perfect! Thanks for your generosity.
You're an idiot. These are great, I was looking for somehting like this for my new blog.
how can i use this with CCK's and VIEW's? i have a custom content type 'event date' and i want to use this style in my VIEW, is this possible?
Yes you can, you have to theme your view or if your view is a node view then theme a node
very very nice effects :)
thank you for the post!!!
Thanks for sharing that Marek. Have now implemented it on the blogs at
http://www.fundraising.co.uk/latest-blogs
One suggestion/request: can you add an alt tag for the calendar image that would explain what it was for someone with images switched off?
Something like: alt="Calendar - 30 August 2008".
Thanks.

Hello all:

Please e-mail me back. thanks.
hey thanks!its a brilliant idea!great job you have done.i just downloaded some of your icons.hopefully they will e much usefull for me.thanks again!
does it go in the themes image folder?
@lisa - if you are using the same code I provide here, then place your icons into "calendar" folder, it should be in the same folder where your css file is
Thanks! I'm using your cool icons in one of my Sandbox skins.
Hope you will always be generous to post more interesting freebies next time ;)
Thanks for making the icons available. I'm using them at http://quantumgardener.info
