How do I add a video?

First of all you must make sure you are registed and logged in to OurFernie. You will know you are logged in when your username is displayed above the left hand navigation.

1. Look for the "create content" link on the left.
2. Choose "video".

How do I add an event to the events calendar?

First of all you must be registered and logged in. Once you're logged in you'll see your username above the navigation on the left, and you'll have additional actions to choose from.

Look for the "Contribute content" link and choose "event".

Enter the date and time of your event, add a description and choose any categories that apply.

For events that are recurring, the start date and end date should be set to the dates/times of the first occurrence of the event only, not the duration of the event over many days or weeks. You can then enter repetition details in the "repeat" expandable box. Select the repetition frequency (daily, weekly, monthly) and the end date.

After you submit a recurring event, check the calendar to make sure the frequency is correct. If it's not right usually the only way to fix it is to start again. To do this, select any of the events, click "delete" at the bottom, and then select "all occurrences". The main cause for bad recurring events is setting the start date to be the beginning of the first event, and the end date the end of the last event. This creates one big event that spans many days.

To make your event show up in the main calendar, select the "featured" event category, along with any other categories.

However, please don't make your event featured if it's a recurring event; we don't have room on the main calendar for everything. But don't worry, events that aren't featured still show up in the other calendar categories that you've selected.

Don't forget to add an image! This will add appeal to your event.
