This looks fantastic, but it doesn't give me any reference as to which month I'm actually looking at.... i.e. I drag the frame so that the 1st is a Saturday, but what month in what year am I looking at? Will the 1st of July 2015 be a Saturday, I have no idea from this.

It's a wall calendar - it only shows one month at a time - presumably, the current month.

How do I know how to set the current month, and how do I know how to advance to the next month?

It feels like I'm missing something.

On the first of every month you drag it so that the number 1 lines up with the current day of the week

Oh, so I have to check another calendar/date display device. Right.

Most wall calendars show 3 months (current month large, previous and next small), precisely because it's so common to want to check the day of a recent or (more commonly) upcoming date.

I have this problem too. Am I supposed to be able to derive a date from the calendar? Am I missing some element on the page?

I generally don't have a lot of interest in time, so I don't have whatever relevant knowledge this might require (if any).
