I want to use drupal as my online diary. Each day should be represented as one page (usually one but sometimes more posts).

I first try with version 4.6 and module Event and got problems:

1) The block calender in the Event module begins with Sunday, not Monday.

2) When I click a date I want to directly see the posts on that date, not an extra step via the Event table.

So...this seemed impossible and I tried with module Daily but: There is no browsable calender block. How can I pick a day and see the posts?

What I want is a simple calender where I click one date and get directly to the posts for that day (like on WordPress or b2evo) on one page, nothing more. I can't imagine this being too difficult for drupal so hoping for some help.

Thanks,
Bure

I think that you can do what you want without any additions to the core code.

Assuming that you are using the Blog content-type to do your writing, all you have to do is activate the "archive" module in administer->modules. Then enable the "archive" block in administer->blocks. When you do that, you'll have a small calendar displayed in the sidebar. Clicking on a date in the calendar will bring up a page with all posts for that particular day.

The last control on your admin->settings page should allow you to choose the first day of the week.
