<p>You can easily add a calendar to your WordPress site through the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-ics-importer/">ICS Calendar plugin</a>. This plugin pulls in a calendar from google calendar and displays it on a wordpress page using some shortcode. Here's an <a href="http://grandriverhospitaldistrict.org/calendar/">example of the integration</a> I did for a client. You can also embed a Google calendar directly (<a href="http://grandriverhospitaldistrict.org/googlecalendar/">example</a>).  For more wordpress tips, see my <a href="https://idratherbewriting.com/newsletter/">WordPress archive</a>. Hat tip to <a href="http://www.glennjlea.ca/">Glenn Lea</a> for the plugin tip.</p>
