Description

Recently discovered the "Event Block" Plugin by Automattic. I've been through 28 calendar and event plugins, and the simple Event Block Plugin is by far the best for quickly and easily creating a clean and modern event listing.

I'm writing to ask (to plea) if you might please continue with this plugin. There are only two things I feel could be developed for improvement: 1.) Make the event block linkable/clickable 2.) Make a date option for "Date TBA". A third less important, but useful item - HTML Anchor in Block Settings Advanced.

I designed the referenced website for our local nonprofit and hope to soon hand over the reigns. The problem: They have no moderately tech savvy folks. A 26 year-old staffer was not able to do a facebook event on her own. The point - I must have ye old "wysiwyg" for every component if these lovely folks are to have a hope of maintaining or updating the website. The time, patience and ability to understand and use shortcodes and complete multi-field form entries to create and display events is just not there.

This situation is where the Event Block outshines all other event plugins. Thank you for your consideration.
