2023 – a perfect year to try the Fixed Calendar
This is a great year to try the Fixed Calendar because the week days are the same, so conversion is easy. This only happens once every 11th common year. Feel free to copy and use my conversion calendar. Reduce waste and mistakes caused by our irregular Gregorian Calendar. More information.

Have you tried getting the “fixed” Calendar accepted as an alternative calendar, across the internet? I know you don’t like Google but it is very popular atm.
Can’t attacha screenshot because of your comments setting, I suspect. Shall send to you phone(text message).

This post is getting a steady trickle of views everyday – mostly from the USA for some reason – via Google search. Google ads cost and I’m content to let this service I’m offering gain its own traction. I’ve offered to do presentations to various local groups, but none have shown much interest, so far. Another site in the US – https://www.freexenon.com/?s=fixed+calendar – has a lot of research on calendar reform and promotes the Fixed Calendar, but there’s no indication that viewers are coming from it.

But have you contacting search engines such as Firefox or Google or Bing? Asked if they would consider including the fixed calendar as an alternative. Currently I can only see lunar calendars offered in different languages in the calendar settings of my phone(see screenshot I sent via your #).

No I haven’t, because the Fixed Calendar doesn’t have anywhere near the users the lunar calendar (for example) has, so they wouldn’t agree to it. Someone had an online conversion website up for years, but it’s disappeared (the url was http://www.internationalfixedcalendar.com). I don’t have the programming skills to create that. My calendar conversion table can be used on paper or as a photo on a mobile phone (I have it as my wallpaper for quick reference).

I don’t understand how it works. Why hasn’t it caught traction, is it a bit like why Esperanto han’t caught on?

No, Esperanto is a much bigger learning exercise and has cultural implications. My Fixed Calendar conversion table only requires the explanation I’ve given and a little patience. To find out what today’s day and date is in the Fixed Calendar – just as with the Gregorian calendar – you use something as a reference point to start off with. For example, let’s say you happen to know what day of the week it is – Saturday. You have an idea it’s late in the month of July (Gregorian calendar), but you’re not sure what today’s date is. Start by looking at the far right-hand column and you’ll see that July 15th in the Gregorian calendar is Sol 28th. The next two Saturdays are July 7th and 14th. You’re looking for Saturdays because remember, as my post says, this year is a perfect year to try the fixed calendar because the weekdays are the same in both calendars. So today must be either Saturday July the 7th or Saturday the 14th in the Fixed Calendar. It’s actually the 14th because we’re almost at the end of July in the Gregorian calendar.

Okay. I need a hard copy(preferably) beside me to follow this. Shall do. I will then learn, no doubt, it’s usefulness to me.(?)
I notice that when I do a search on my Reader’s search page of “fixed calendar” your post doesn’t appear. Is that because you haven’t added any tag words?

My post appears when I do a search in Google – it comes up 2nd in the list after Wikipedia’s entry. The post’s SEO (search engine optimization) is pretty good because the phrase ‘fixed calendar’ and other proximal terms are in it repeatedly. The viewers from the USA are finding it via Google mainly.
