In reply to: Needing Artisteer Software OwnerSure Saurus. Artisteer creates custom WordPress themes from scratch (sorta) using a graphic user interface. You start out picking a theme close to what you want, then adjust all the little details to your liking. Finish by exporting your theme, ftp to your blog, and activate it. Easy.
Great for us noobs that may know a little css and html, but not really ready to build our own theme from scratch. I tried many themes, but never could get find one that meet all my needs. On my Amazon wish list was CSS and WordPress books; and would still like to improve my knowledge in those areas, but Artisteer is a practical shortcut.
Honestly, I posted the follow up message as some users were still emailing me offering help. =]

In reply to: Needing Artisteer Software OwnerI broke down and bought Artisteer, and my wife didn’t give me too much grief. Good thing, as have made several subtle tweaks since then. Was able to get my google ads in a third column working very easily using the basic text sidebar widget. Very good software for those of us that know the basics, but have trouble coding stuff from scratch.

In reply to: Group CalendarRoseCitySister, thanks yet again, that is a good thought.
I’ve also considered putting this blog under my site, as have unlimited size and throughput, and neither blog would be big or have tons of traffic. Not sure how much trouble that would cause keeping everything straight (reading multiple blog instructions now).
Also found instructions to use RSS feeds from google calendar, use feed43 to change the stream, and feed into the rss sidebar widget (https://helensnerdyblog.wordpress.com/). That would give the next few events on the site, but would have to link to the calendar for events further out. Was going to use famundo.com for a calendar, as it handles multiple users well, but lacks an RSS feed =\.
Still pondering.

In reply to: Group CalendarThanks Rosecitysister for the reply.
My personal blog is on a site that I pay for and can extend and edit, but did not want to support the blog for our town, therefore using the free service at wordpress.com. It works well for a quick blog, but not very extendable.
It does allow custom CSS for $15 a year, so that wouldn’t break the bank, but my CSS knowledge is fairly limited.
What I’ve attempted so far is to use famundo online calendar. The code to embed it on another site looks like this:
<iframe src=’https://ourtown.famundo.com/calendar_center/publish/month?&end_date=&calss=2_1&start_date=¬itle=1′ width=’100%’ height=’300′ frameborder=’0′> <noframes><body>Your browser does not handle frames! Powered by Famundo </body></noframes></iframe>
I made a separate page just for the calendar, and pasted in this code. Of course it just prints the “your browser does not handle frames” on the page since wordpress strips the html.
I’m stuck. =\
