How to create events on Northfield.org

This is a quick primer on how to create an event on Northfield.org...

1. You need to be logged in.
2. Click on 'Create content', then 'Event'.
3. A form will come up with the normal story-submission fields, plus two extras: Start Date and End Date.
4. See the little calendar icon below the text boxes? That's a little pop-up window that makes it easier to enter dates. You don't have to use it, but it's there if you'd like to.
5. All times are in 24-hour format, to reduce the possibility of error. 1 p.m. is 13:00, 7 p.m. is 19:00, and so on. Computers are finicky, aren't they?
6. Fill in the rest of the items as you normally would.
7. Click 'Preview' to review your submission. When you are happy with it, click 'Submit' at the bottom of the page.
8. Your event will go into a queue that our editors can see. They'll give it the once-over to make sure everything checks out. (This is to prevent malicious submissions.) When they approve it, it will appear in the event calendar, the event sidebar, and possibly the front page.

That's it! Thanks for submitting your event to Northfield.org!
