New description:

 When you make a new event on the blog, you can set the Start Time and the
 End Time. But when you have made the event, suddenly it's the top event on
 the frontpage. It turns out there's another, optional, time you can set,
 called "Calendar date", and if you don't set it, it fills in today.

 We should make it fill in the same date as Start Time instead. Or make it
 leave the optional thing empty, and use the Start Time if Calendar date
 isn't filled in.

 Long term goal should be having drupal copy the start date into the
 calendar date.

Comment:

 This is a known issue with drupal 8 calendar module. We need date ranges
 for events, but we also need a slightly different date field to display
 items in the calendar. I have added a description to let people know they
 need to add this field in order to display it in the calendar.
