Following are step-by-step instructions for adding an event to the events calendar.

1. Log in with your user account.  If you don’t yet have an account, then click on “Create an account”.
2. Go to the Events Calendar page, and scroll to the bottom.
3. Click “Add an event”.  Alternatively, you can mouse over the start day, and click on the “+” that appears in the upper-right corner of the day’s box.
4. Enter a Subject – a short phrase that describes your event.
5. Select a Category for your event.  If nothing seems appropriate, then select “General”.  If you have an idea for a new category, then suggest it to the site administrator via e-mail.
6. Set “Access Level” to “Public”, so everyone can see the event.
7. Set the start date and time and end date and time.  If the event is either an all-day event, or it begins/ends at unspecified times, then check the checkbox.  Leave the “12 hour” box checked if you want to enter times using the 12-hour clock (most Americans will want this).  Uncheck it to enter times using the 24-hour clock (e.g. 13:00, 17:30, etc.).  To enter the start date, either click on the calendar icon and select the start day, or enter the date in the text box using the YYYY-MM-DD format.  Enter the start time in the text box using the HH:MM format and select “am” or “pm”.  If the event ends at a specific time, then enter it the same way.  Otherwise, just check the “No specific end time” box.
8. Select the repeat type - “No Repeat” for this example.
9. Enter a full description of the event in “Activity”.
10. Enter the “Location” information.
11. Enter “Contact” information – a person, phone number, e-mail address, etc.
12. You can leave “Extra Info” blank.  It doesn’t show up in the calendar information.
13. Scroll back to the top of the window, and click the “Save” icon, located in the upper-right corner.
14. A dialog box should now pop up and confirm that your event has been saved.
