my google calendar settings don’t look like the ones on your tutorial. my facebook events have somehow combined with all of my other events and I need facebook events removed!! I wanted facebook events to be in ‘other’ calendars but it’s not there, and now my calendar is a complete mess with no way for me to differentiate what is a facebook event and what’s not. can you help me???
