my iCloud preferences have iCal checked but calendars are not in the cloud

I'm sorry to be asking a question so basic but I have tried and tried to find the answer on these forums and have not had any luck.

I would like to move my "on my mac" personal calendar to a calendar on iCloud. I have an iCloud account. In preferences iCal is checked, I have also tried exporting my" on my mac" calendar to a file on my desk top, but in iCloud calendar I can't figure out how to import the calendar. I need help here. Thanks.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Export each of your On My Mac calendars using File>Export>Export. Then create empty iCloud calendars with the same names as your On My Mac calendars, then import the exported calendars to the corresponding iCloud calendars and delete the original On My Mac calendars.

The specific steps to do this are explained in more detail in this article on Roger Wilmut's site: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmovecalendars.html.
