Google calendars
-
staff-blorbo OK,… I did start with a page… and then resorted to the calendar widget…so how does that work then….you do a page/post, add the calendar….and then..? just put it as a menu at the top?
@raincoaster…ive heard of this RSS widget, but have no idea on how to use it?
Thank you.

No, just publish a page and embed the calendar in the page content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-calendar/

RIght, because like we mentioned before, the sidebar is very narrow and the widget has to display in that narrow space. There is no room for it to display the calendar with the date content.
If you want it to be wide enough to display everything, you need to place the calendar in a page, not a widget.

Ah right, sorry my mistake, I thought you meant that was for the google Calendar to the widget and slip in the embed code… I was referring now to the page way of doing it, which seem to conclude the same way…?
Whilst I am here can I quickly ask about how to get the word ‘Blog’ on my current menu and then on each page have the date (ive seen the date in red as they are on calendars?) there as some users do? I’ve also seen people using the ‘blog’ on the menu and adding the date….if I see an example I shall see if I can show you?

Can you give me a link to the page with the calendar?
You can create your own custom menu following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

It shows on the page itself, but when i put it into the text widget it shows exactly as it did before.
I will have a look at the link you gave me too, thank you, any problems and I will let you know about that.

Right, because it’s still in a text widget in the sidebar, which is still narrow, that will never change.
However, the calendar displays just fine in the page itself, which is what I meant.

Right, ok, apologies, so the calendar remains as a page only..? I was under the impression, the page then went into the sideboard? Before I did the calendar on google, the put a widget into the sidebar and then put the embed code into the widget, which obviously didn’t work…. Then I tried the page bit, which I assumed then went into the widget that way….
So the widget is removed from the sidebar is it, and the calendar remains on the page and the page is renamed the calendar? Is that what you are saying and how it works?

Exactly, keep the calendar on http://guyhenryfans.wordpress.com/calendar/ (which is a page) and remove the widget. :)

Hi, ok, then you put the calendar into the menu….? When I looked this morning however, via iPad safari, the calendar widget in the sidebar was actually expanding to show the calendar…I’m sincerely hoping that the link below shows the screen cap of it…. How’s this happened?

Right, the theme has a slightly different display on an iPad, but that will only be a very small percentage of your viewers.
You can add pages to your menu following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

Ok, thanks, gonna have to re think this one then, as I really like the calendar being at the side there.
Yes I’ve found the custom menus…..what I’m wanting to know is, I’ve seen on some people’s sites (&I’m hoping its WordPress sites as I can’t find an example to show you) the word ‘blog’ on the menu but when you click on the page, the word blog isn’t there BUT the calendar number is, and I’m hoping the link below will reveal this image of what I mean, without the word calendar below!
How do I achieve this please?
Thanks.

That’s a photo of apple’s Calendar app in the dock, not something on a blog.
Do you have an example of this on a blog?
-
Yes I know it is, I was merely showing you the image I see on blogs. No, I’m still looking for one :(

Hey, this is what this person added regards the above.
‘There are options for custom HTML and CSS within WordPress’
Is this right?
-
Within a self-hosted WordPress installation, yes.
At WordPress.com, you can only modify CSS.
