Add an Upcoming Events List into my WordPress Blog?

The ability to do this depends on who is hosting your WordPress blog.  WordPress.com is a service and host; but you can also run WordPress on your own server or use a different hosting service that runs WordPress.
 
If you host WordPress on your own server or use another host that allows JavaScript, you can incorporate the Upcoming Events List into your blog. To incorporate the Upcoming Events List into the sidebar of your blog, follow the steps below.
  1. Login to your WordPress account.
  2. Go to your Dashboard -> Appearance-> Widgets
  3. On right hand side of your dashboard you see “Current Widgets”
  4. Click “Edit” in the text box or Click “Add” a Text Widget if there isn’t already a text box available.
  5. Open another browser and go to Your Calendar -> Administration Menu-> Web Widgets -> Upcoming Events List
  6. Enable Upcoming Events List
  7. Go to List Tab and set list width to 200 (The width and height may be adjusted at any time in this admin screen, just be sure to Save changes to see them appear on your blog.)
  8. Customize the Upcoming Events List in the List and Events Tabs
  9. Scroll down and Click “Save”
  10. Copy the JavaScript code for the Upcoming Events List from box titled “JavaScript Code for Combined Selected Categories.”
  11. Return to WordPress and paste the script into the open Text box. Click “Save” and Close the text box.
  12. The Upcoming Events List should appear in sidebar of your blog.
If you use WordPress.com the service/host, WordPress.com does not allow JavaScript or inline frames to be incorporated into its blogs.  Therefore, the Upcoming Events List will not appear on a blog hosted by WordPress.com.  You can add a direct link to your calendar or your web page containing your Upcoming Events List.
 
The steps to add a direct link to your calendar or website are below.
  1.  Login to your WordPress account.
  2. Go to your Dashboard -> Appearance-> Widgets
  3. On right hand side of your dashboard you see “Current Widgets”
  4. Click “Edit” in the text box or “Add” a text box in the sidebar and then “Edit.”
  5. Insert the following code in the text box that opens to create a text link to your calendar or website page with text “Open My Calendar.” You may substitute any text you wish. Be sure to substitute your calendar identifier for yourcalendaridentifier in the below example.
    <a href="http://www.calendarwiz.com/yourcalendaridentifier">Open My Calendar</a>
  6. Save and Close the Text Box.
  7. View your page.
