The Calendar app comes with five calendars right out of the box: one each for your events, reminders, and tasks; a Birthdays calendar for birthdays listed in Contacts; and a Holidays calendar for your country. That's a lot of calendars, but it's not every calendar you can display, not by a long shot. If you have a hankering to know what's going on, you can add all kinds of calendars.

Most of the calendars you can add belong to other people, so I talk about that topic in detail in Chapter 12. For now, though, you can create one or more other calendars for your own use. For example, you might want to use the original calendar for business events only and create a second calendar for personal stuff.

Here's how to create a new calendar:

1 On Calendar's main menu, click Add Other Calendars (the plus sign [+] that appears in the Other Calendars section).

2 Click Create New Calendar.Calendar opens Settings and displays the Create New Calendar section, as shown in Figure 3-18.

3 Use the Name text box to name your new calendar.

4 (Optional) Use the Description box to enter a description of your calendar.

5 Use the Time Zone list to select the time zone you want to use with this calendar.

6 Click Create Calendar.Calendar creates the new calendar and adds it to the My Calendars list.

FIGURE 3-18: Use the Create New Calendar section to set up your calendar.

With your new calendar up and running, you now have an extra step to negotiate when you create an event. As shown in Figure 3-19, the Event tab now includes a list of your event calendars, and you need to select the calendar in which you want the event to appear.
