Here’s a test page with the new calendar tag on it that I setup for you to use as a reference. The tag used is the one listed above for the Main Calendar.
http://www.atsi.org/atsi/atsi_calendar.asp
To use the tag all you have to do is copy one of the tags from above, then go to the content page you want the calendar on and paste the tag there (if necessary, modify the parameters to match the calendar you want to display). Now rebuild and publish the page. That’s it!
