Thanks Peter,
Yes, the calendar (little box ;) is what I want displayed on my posts
page.
I was in the middle of writing yet another explanation of my problem,
but have fixed it myself.
As usual, the problem was my doing. I had created a template posts
page, but forgot to update the index.php page to reflect the changes.
To be honest, I can't see why I actually need to do that as the
template should take care of it , but it works and I won't grumble!
So, if anyone is thinking of tinkering with their posts page,
remember to also change the index.php page to show those changes even
if the posts page is created with a different template.
You can see the correctly displayed page at - http://

Cheers,
G
