How To…
The Event Calendar
Events are linked to articles that you may view by clicking on the date of interest. Look for the calendar located in the right sidebar of the home page.
Any registered guest may enter event information! Do so by going accessing your dashboard (you must login first). Go to ‘posts’ and then ‘add new’. Enter your event information as an article and this means you may insert images. VERY IMPORTANT: Scroll to the bottom of the post page and click on the button for events. You may now select the date and time for your event.
On the right side of your post you may select a category. This is important as the Monsoon readers may pull your event up under the categories. You may enter tags and these are very helpful for finding your information with a search function.
If you emailed your event information and you don’t see it online you may either reenter it as described above or wait patiently for me to update your information. I check for new posts every few days and will make sure yours is done correctly at that time.

Posting Information
If your information is tied to a day then you are best served to enter it as part of the Monsoon Event Calendar as described above.
For any other information you may want to include then any registered guest may submit a post (including images). It’s simple! After you register and log-in then go to the dashboard. On the left side you will see a listing for ‘POSTS’. Fill in your information and if you have an image then upload it from the post box by clicking on the image icon. Select ‘right’ for the image location. The first image you include in your post will automatically be included in the excerpt as a thumbnail.
When you are satisfied with your post then look to the right side of your screen to find the ‘categories’ section. Select an appropriate category in the ‘news’ category section. Then look upward to find the tags box and enter up to three tags you feel are important. Always include the city or town as one of your tags.
Click the publish button and you are done! I usually check over new posts so I will most likely find any mistakes you may make.
The Business Directory
Your business information may be included for FREE! Follow the directions for ‘posting information’. When you get to category selection be sure to select the appropriate category in the ‘business’ category section. Include an image for better visibility and the first image you include will show as a thumbnail in the business directory excerpts.I usually check over new posts so I will most likely find any mistakes you may make.
If you are having difficulty creating url or email links then I sometimes have better luck by creating my post in Word and then copying and pasting it into the post box.
