Excellent idea, thank you!

[Mireille]

Thank you! I have added an EVENTS page to the site and included a google calendar (had to do some trickery/workaround with a word cloud service due to wordpress coding limitations) that I will update with the events and links you have here.

Check it out:
occupymelbournefl.wordpress.com/events/

It uses flash so let me know if you have any problems viewing it.

The permissions for the calendar itself aren't set to public properly, bc the calendar data is all that's missing! I love the cloud thing, especially for the forums, but it works well as a way to get a lot of good stuff on the site.

Would it be helpful if we had a server where we could do a full wp install? We could make the iframes work then, couldn't we? I have a friend I could talk to...I had forgotten how restrictive the wp server can be.

[Mireille]

After discussing with Mandy and Remmy I've abandoned the google calendar in favor of the forum calendar. It will be more convenient since forum staff will be able to add events.

Please add all events and meetings to the forum calendar with description, time, links to the event thread and/or facebook event.
