How to Use

This makes it way easier for people to find out more information on the organization, etc. You can easily delete the event after posting it (if you make a mistake, etc).
Images
To include an image you must link to the picture externally (meaning it has to be hosted on some other website). Then just paste in the URL of the image in brackets. So if the image is at http://example.com/pict.jpg you would put [http://example.com/pict.jpg]. Feel free to include a flyer/other photo, but just be sure to type the information too!
Tips
Include the start and end dates/times, the cost (or note if free), a link to further information. Post a week (or more) in advance, if possible. Events are assumed to be open to the public unless otherwise noted.
