  Hello
  I am building a website for a school. I have worked out how to have a feed of recent posts from the blog page onto the homepage. I want to do the same things with upcoming important school dates. The site is here http://www.iwannamakethattoo.co.uk
  Any help much appreciated – I am fairly new to this and feeling my way through it
  Thanks

  For folks reading these forums for help, here is the widget referred to above:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/upcoming-events/

  Upcoming Events is a widget and a shortcode. It allows you to use an iCalendar link to display a list of events on your WordPress.com site. This feature can be used for any kind of event list, but it was created especially with musicians in mind so they can rock the web with a list of tour dates. Rock on!

  Thanks gamenology1 and 1tess. My Google calendar gives me a link starting https:// etc and when I put this into Upcoming Events it only accepts it with http:// (ie without the ‘s’) I have made the calendar public in Google.
  Any ideas
