1. Click on Localendar.com at the bottom of the calendar.

2. You will then see this screen that will allow you to sign on
to add your gig.

3. Member sign on is Jaybarut and Password is thenewbayou.

You may encounter this message. Just ignore it and press
click here.

4. Next you'll see the editable calendar.

5. Click Add Event to add a new gig or click on an existing event to make any changes.

If you click Add Event, you'll see this screen:

6. Include the band name in the Title and the rest of the gig info in
Description
(up to 2000 characters including web and e-mail links).

Be sure to select the right event date, start time and duration. If you forget,
and add the event on the wrong day, the default date is the current day so
it will be saved as today's event.

So, to put the event on the right day, when the editable calendar comes back,
just go to the current day on the calendar and click on your event again to
change the day.

7. You can choose a background colour for the listing by clicking the colour button.

8. You can easily add a link to your web site.



Just highlight your band name or web address whichever you wish to display, click on the
chain link icon
, to the left of the anchor icon in the Format area, enter the URL info for your
web address and click on Submit (or Update for any changed address). (NOTE: this doesn't
work with Safari on the MAC. Use the Firefox browser instead.)

9. You can add an image that appears on the calendar with your gig.

Either choose a suitable one from those available or upload one as clip art from
your own images, for example a band logo, portrait, etc.

Please keep any clip art image to not wider than 130 pixels (4.5 cm/1.8 inches wide)
to stay within the maximum width of the calendar. Wider images can cut off the later days
in the week on the calendar.

10. You can see how your event will appear by clicking Preview and a pop-up screen will appear
so you can adjust your listing if needed. Here's what the Preview screen might look like:

If a change is needed, close the screen and adjust whatever needs to be adjusted.

11. Lower on the event entry screen, you can choose This event repeats if it does
and pick the appropriate repetition. For gigs that only repeat for two days
(e.g. Fri & Sat), check Fri, Sat & Weekly and select the Repeat Until date as
the last day of the two days involved.

. To post your gig, click on the Save button (for a new event) or the Update button
(for an updated event)
. Shortly, the editable version of the calendar will appear
with your gig listing.

If on posting there's something more you'd like to change, just click on your event's link on
the calendar, adjust the info as needed and click the Update button. The amended
calendar will re-appear with your changes.

You can then close the calendar and go to thenewbayou.com to confirm that your listing is
on the venue's DIY schedule.

You may need to refresh your browser to see your gig. Also, your browser should be set to check for changes
on every visit to avoid seeing older temporary internet files before your change.
