In spite of all workarounds (which are working fine): it still would be great to to EMBED a Google calendar (or have a calendar as a stand-alone widget) rather than have an RSS solution. Please do consider this as a feature request – I am not sure whether this is the appropriate place for posting this – could not find any other suitable section …

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m posting link to the workaround just in case others reading this thread haven’t discovered it as yet. http://helensnerdyblog.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/how-to-add-a-google-calendar-to-your-wordpresscom-blog-using-the-rss-widget/

If you look back through the forums this has been a request many users have wanted for a very long time. There are many blogs that could benefit from this feature. I give props to the “helensnerdyblog” workaround but it is a little klunky and confusing and really isn’t a solution to embedding in a page or a post. We have a shortcode for Google Maps, let’s get one for Google Calendar! If for some technical reason it can not happen consider adding a new widget with Event Calendar type functionality.

The likely reason for this lack of inclusion is probably due to the dynamic nature of the code required. See this support documentation entry to see what I mean. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

Would really like to be able to add a “calendar of events” page to the blogs. I don’t care if it’s a Google Calendar or a wordpress page calendar, whatever works!

Timethief, thanks for posting the work around to the Calendar problem. We just need to be able to post a calendar of events. Pulling one together with old html programs is a bitch.

Lack of embedded Google Calendar is one reason why I’ve not migrated my entire website to wordpress.

In fact, it may be the only major reason!

What about linking the WordPress blog to a single-page Google Site that has an embedded calendar on it? What if you even tried to make the Google Site page look similar to your WordPress blog (colors, images, fonts)? Anyway that is what I am thinking of doing.

Me too please. Either embedding Google calendar, or a separate event calendar widget.
