mneah … ive know about them, but they dont do the job i need to display my events in a page like this http://mainevents.ro/events.html
Betsy why not just make an events category and then an events category template and rock that? You create the category,remember the id and then copy page.php or the index.php file and then upload it to your theme folder and call it category1.php(or whatever the the id is).
It’s a snap.
Also, for what you want to emulate–tables aren’t at all necessary! any free theme will format a page like the one you want.

well i`ve tried but .. nothing … :(((((
create a new category. In the admin, when you then edit the events category you just created, you’ll see a the address is yourdomain/wp-admin/categories.php?action=edit&cat_ID=X, where X is the ID of your category.
So, now you create a file called category-x.php in your theme directory. I find it easiest to make a copy of index.php and edit it so that it looks like I want it to.
This means, you can fiddle with the way the loop outputs your info, and it’ll only be that one category that will look like that.

I don’t ever rename files if I want a category template. creating a category in Manage> Categories >Add new
then getting the id
and then creating a template by copying index.php into a new blank text file then naming it category-1234.php
and then uploading it to your theme folder will make wordpress use this template to show only posts for the events category if your category id is 1234.
which it won’t be.
Unless I am psychic!
Then each time you write a post about an event and you select the Events category, WordPress will look for category-1234.php to show these posts. Only Events category posts will be shown.
