This is a good comment, but adding more space will create a larger overall image... thereby shrinking the text even more. Not sure how to execute, but I will keep this in mind as we continue to improve...

The programmer is writing and working on this script now... the intention is use your mouse over the arrows and see a week-at-a-view, or click anywhere in that area and be forwarded to the main calendar page...

Thank you!
Please pardon the dust... This is a work-in-progress. I appreciate John's praise and I thank you, ATyler, for your input... My intention is to provide a cool resource tool for our listeners. You have great suggestions, and I will keep your thoughts in mind as we continue to build.
