Listing regular classes - what information to supply?

- Select the correct category (drilling down to the lowest appropriate level) for your class then press "Send"
- To save repeating yourself, having setup one entry, all your other entries can be linked to it via the website link and share its page.
What should you list as events?
Special events are events that people would travel a distance to attend - eg. competitions, retreats, visiting masters. Do list things that expire on a given day so that they will automatically disappear from our listings once completed. They may be one-off or repeating but not just a new intake of your regular weekly or monthly classes.
- Stored venues: It is usually best to first add the venue where the event will be held to our directory if it doesn't already exist.
- Cut and paste from your website? The editor has a 'Paste from Word' option to clean up all the crud that would otherwise display in the entry when copying an event from MS Word. Also a paste as text option.
- Web links (urls) can be included in the text. In edit mode, the link icon in the editor is greyed-out. If you highlight the website address in your entry with the mouse it will enable the link icon. Then click the icon and set up the link.
- Need to change something? You can edit your events - there is an icon by the title that you click.
- Switch between html source view and wysiwyg
