Feed of “Category” contents posted to a related “Page”

I’d like to publish excerpts or full text of some of my blog posts on specific WordPress “Pages.” For instance, if I blog about something in the “Events” category, I’d love for an excerpt of that to automatically show up on the “Calendar of Events” page, or if I blog about a new author, an excerpt would be great on the page where I solicit new members.

The Autoblog plugin looked like it would do this for me, but it’s no longer available AFAIK. So far, I can’t get feedwordpress running. I’m stuck.

Does some kind soul have for-dummies directions I can chew on?
