Event
Calendar
The
event calendar is for posting and finding upcoming surfrider and
related meetings and events. It's hosted at http://my.calendars.net/orsurfrider/
but can be used completely within the surfrider website Events
page.
Some
calendar usage guidelines:
- Please
limit postings to Surfrider events or third-party events of direct
interest to Surfrider members.
- Please
provide details and/or a URL pointer to the web page with more
information. Include this in the Popup Text section of
the form.
- Please
sign each posting with your name at the end of the Popup Text
section of the form. For example, "Posted by Kurt"
- The
calendar application is sometimes very slow. If you get "DNS
errors" or very slow response, reload the page by clicking
Events on the top site navigation bar or try again later.
Sometimes when submitting a change, the change will be accepted
even though you get an error message.
To
post a new calendar event:
- Navigate
to the month and day for the event. If the month is not shown,
click the desired month (either at the top or on the calendar
grid). Then click the desired day on the calendar grid. You can
also click the appropriate choice after Add Events at the
top of the calendar.
- On
the Create new Calendar Entry Page, provide a short description
in the Calendar Text section, set the start and end times,
and choose a Category.
- Provide
detailed, descriptive information and URLs in the Popup Text
or URL link section. The latter should include the full announcement
and/or a URL pointing to the announcement on a web page. URLs
can be entered directly into the form. They will be made into
clickable links automatically.
- Please
also provide your name at the end of the Popup Text or URL link
section. For example, "Posted by Kurt" is fine.
- Leave
the colors on default settings.
- Click
Submit. If an error page appears, go back to the calendar to see
if it was posted before reentering and resubmitting.
To
edit a calendar event:
- Navigate
to the day page for the event, as above.
- On
the day's page, click Edit next to the event.
- Make
any changes.
- Click
Submit.

Expandable
Posts: to create an expandable post, first compose the entire
post the normal way in Blogger and post it to the site. Immediately
look at the main page and copy the URL for the "permenant link"
for the post and edit the post. You'll need to do two things: (1)
where you want the front page summary to end, add text and a link
to the post page (the URL that you copied), e.g. "Click here
for more info." with "click her"e linked to the post
page permenant link; (2) enclose the expansion of the post with
the following:<span class="fullpost">YOUR
TEXT</span>
