The Community Event Calendar section provides date, time, and location information to the EPA community on special events, organization meetings, and community programs. Use of this section should help community organizations prevent double booking of important meetings and events.
This is a brief overview of how to submit an event to the Event Calendar section of epa.net.
Begin by clicking the link on the main page navigation bar marked "Event Calendar".
Then click the category that best fits your event.
You will see a list of current events.
Below these stories, there will be a link marked "Submit a calendar item".
Clicking this link will take you to the area for posting your event.
Type the title of your event and date following the instructions on the page.
Then, you are ready to enter your message in the box marked body.
Type your message in plain text or basic html. (see HTML Instructions).
If you included html, change the text "format" below the body text box to html before selecting the "Preview" button. (i.e. The text is formatted asPlain TextHTML)
Click the "Preview" button. If the post looks ok, click the "Confirm" button at the bottom.
If the message does not look correct, click the back button at the top of your browser and edit the message. Be sure to check your HTML Tags. Posting in plain text may cause text to display off the screen and to the right. We recommend using a minimum of the paragraph tags (<P> your paragraph </P>) to make sure your text displays properly. Then repeat steps 10 and 11 until the message looks correct. You are done!
Community members and organizations will be encouraged to post events here. The content manager will approve the post. Post may take up to 48 hours to appear, so post events early.
