This event calendar ONLY WORKS ON WORDPRESS 3.0 and above.
For an earlier version of the calendar please visit https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/kino-event-calendar-plugin/tag/v1.4/kino-event-calendar-plugin.zip
Once installed the calendar must be dragged into the side bar from Appearance > Widgets. The calendar will then show in the sidebar of every page.
You can easily select an Events page which shows all current and future events by entering the smartcode [events] into whatever page you like.
The admin area enables you to add, edit and remove events quickly and easily, and changing colours is a breeze. The Kino Events Calendar does not use blog posts to handle events but rather lets you add events manually. This flexibility makes integrating the calendar into client sites much more feasible, and the colour changing options allow for simple branding too.
See the Idaho Community College site for a working <a href="http://www.idahocommunityaction.org/" title="Kino Event Calendar example" rel="nofollow ugc">example</a>.
