I don't understand how the calendar can be used for all months when the first of each month lands in different days each month. Is the days of the week changeable?

Inspired by the calendar posts!

Everything is very beautiful. I would suggest if you don't want people to "steal your stuff" don't post publicly. People are going to see things and get inspired. If you are talking about your images, I believe there is a way to disable copying and pinning. The whole "steal" is off putting no matter how good you are.
