Calendar Changes

There's a lot of griping about colour coding in Google's Calendar. I finally bit the bullet and stopped waiting for it to be implemented the way I (and many others) thought it should be.
I wanted one calendar with colour options. But that's not the way it's been designed and implemented. Google Calendar wants the user to maintain several calendars, which are individually colour coded. A 5 period day becomes 5 calendars?
So, I'm running multiple colour coded calendars now. This will be interesting. My biggest stumbling block was not setting them up, but in the embedding.
