When embedding a calendar, it is always displayed in day view. Can I change it to month view?
Yes, you can customize the embedded calendar. On the calendar embed page, click on the link "Customize" provided below the embed URL. Along with the ten different predefined templates, you will also have a drop down box to select the view. Using it, you can specify the view you want to embed the calendar in, either day, week or month view.
