Hello Dónal,
BusyCal is a different product, so maybe they've stopped developing BusySync.
It still works for us with ML, so maybe it would be worth your while
downloading it from MacUpdate. It appears to cost $39 from there. Here's the

Morning Esther,
Multi Markdown is a very very handy thing indeed if you just want to knock out
a very fast and fairly primitive webpage. It's worth a look for those not

Hello Dónal,
Yes, BusySync does just what you want. We share quite a few calendars but not
all, and it's been working for us for several years.
There's actually a trial version of BusyCal available from the BusyMac website
and it's cheaper than BusySync, so you might like to try that.
Cheers,
