Thanks, Charlie! We are looking at switching to GCalendar on the website in question. I may have been imprecise about my question - I really want to know how to set up a recurring event that happens every two weeks on Friday. This is quite easy to do in Google Calendar. Do you remember if there is a way to do it on Eventlist?
