Hi,
I am building a photo news website and I want to include gallery listings in a content format, not a side module. I downloaded jevents, eventslist, and a few others but I don’t understand how to get it to work. If you see this websites listings that might give you an idea of what I’m looking for. here is there link

I don’t know if it’s possible for me to do this without hiring someone.

So you want to display a venue list within a Joomla article? I’m not sure I understand the problem.
Maybe you need to define “content format” for me.
You can display a component inside a module, and you can display a module inside a Joomla article in this format:
{loadposition yourmodule} – where ‘yourmodule’ is the position of your module.
You can use this plugin (aka mambot) to display a component within a module:

Not sure how that will work in terms of getting it to display a specific EventList view within the module though.
An alternative would be to display an iframe within your module, and within the iframe display just the EventList view you want, for example:
http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_eventlist&view=venues&tmpl=component
The key is to add &tmpl=component to the URL.
