News
This can be a feed from blog posts from within the site. Anyone with admin, editor, or contributor access to the WordPress backend can add to this.
This area could also be announcements or news items added directly to the page by an admin or editor.
Calendar
This can be a feed from an external program like Google Calendar, which can be updated by anyone with the Google login. We can also add a more sophisticated Calendar plugin, but updating will require logging in to the site backend.
