Sharing content

This site uses the following protocols to share its content, with luck making it easier for you wherever you wish to share it!

Calendars

The Gigs pages all use iCalendar in RDFa. You can subscribe to the Gigs page as an public calendar using the link:

http://www.coreymwamba.co.uk/gigs/ical

Here are instructions on how to do this for
- Outlook - but ignore what it says about needing webcal://
- Google Calendar
- Apple Calendar
There are many ways to do this using a Linux system - but the simplest is to use curl or wget in a terminal.

OEmbed

You can embed content from my Gigs, Rambles and Get My Music into an external site using OEmbed. The OEmbed request looks like this:

http://feeds.coreymwamba.co.uk/oembed.php?url=

It only gives XML responses. So, a request to fetch a gig would look like this:

http://feeds.coreymwamba.co.uk/oembed.php?url=http://www.coreymwamba.co.uk/gig/guest-1337110200

and the response would be
