Event Entry Example #1

see example 2

Confused!?  Don't worry, we still sometimes get confused about how to categorize events. In fact, we keep making it up as we go! But here are some guidelines.

I've listed a couple of events and then demonstrated how you would fill out the form for them.

This is how we might see a listing that we must enter into AllMyFun.com

PASTE PAPER DECORATION

And this is how we would enter it...

Schedule Info

When does it take place??

 It turns out that this is not as simple as you might think! Some events happen only once, some every week, some happen every day for a week, some happen at various dates over a period of months.

  • Please select all the dates that people can come to your event by clicking in the appropriate check boxes.
     
  • If your event is a multi-day course or similar event where people must attend all days, please only click on the start date. (You can enter more detailed info in the "Times/Dates" box above.) Otherwise you may have someone showing up half way through the course expecting to take part in that evening's "event"!

This section is so the computer can understand which dates the event occurs upon and can list the right events for a particular date.

The Categories That Describe Your Event

The only categories that you would click for this event are:

"Crafts"  under the "Personal Interests" section
and
"$20-$50" under the "Price" section.

This event does not fit in any other categories, although you might make an argument that it fits in "Visual Arts" under "Arts & Culture", but not really...
