[EventCalendar] Missing posts calendar or otherwise

Tue Aug 7 20:22:35 UTC 2007

Thanks again for replying Peter, but I don't, yet, have a problem on  
my index page; at least, not what I would call the index page of the  
site - (homepage, frontpage, main page etc).
Rather, the problem is on my posts page -
>> http://www.jubadoleao.com/jdl/?page_id=76

It's a pity because I'm at a loss what to do.
Thanks again,
G
