WordPress.org

1. Download and activate as per usual in wordpress
2. Create some events in your calendar application in a public calendar (eg: google calendar, facebook, ical.me.com ). Find the public ics url for the calendar. NB The url MUST be publicly accessible when lot logged in - check by pasting the url into another browsers url field. If you cannot access it in a browser without being logged in, then the plugin will not be able to access it either.
3. Create a page for your calendar or agenda and enter one of the shortcakes (preferably using the html view of the wp editor) . EG:

[iCal yoururl.ics]

[largecalendar yoururl.ics]

NB (Ics url NOT As a hyperlink, must be plain text)

That's it!

For the widgets (calendar and list)

1. Drag one of the events widgets to the chosen sidebar
2. Enter http://yoururl.ics in the widgets input area, Save

Some calendar applications delay a bit before updating the ics file. If you think the plugin is 'missing' a new event, please open your ics link in a text editor like notepad. Check that the event is actually in the ics file.

There are many shortcode parameters and some highly configurable list types. Please read:
