/*
Here's the complete customised pod page for a working event calendar, based on input from the three other lovely people in this thread. For my purposes, it was most useful to have each day with its own row rather than a traditional calendar with weeks in rows, because I wanted to list the titles of the events on the days they're happening, and this way give me more room and greater clarity. But if you prefer weeks in rows, just revert to jbrickman's format. Some of this can likely be tidied up further, I'm not an expert - but it'll be a useful working starting point for further refinement and customisation.
