Calendars

Newsletter Ease is different from other newsletter tools in that it provides a way to integrate calendar content with your newsletter. In addition, Newsletter Ease allows you publish a calendar to your Web site, if you have one. There is no limit to the number of calendars that you can create with Newsletter Ease. Calendars can show future or historic events - you choose the range of your calendar. To begin, click on the calendar already created for you, labeled My Calendar.

Click in the upper-right corner.

Here, you can name the Web site location to which your calendar will publish. You name the Template to be used, the Web File Name of the main calendar page when published, and the Date Format that you would like to use. You can also choose the calendar range.

All Calendars show the current month. If your purpose is to publish a calendar of events, you would want a future range and the appropriate span of time. If you intend to publish a listing of future events and a description of past events, such as minutes from meetings others may have missed, select a current range and the appropriate span of time. If you want to keep a diary or show links to past events, such as sermons or a baby's first year, then choose a past range and the appropriate span of time. Once you've selected the Calendar Settings that you need, click . To create a New Activity, you'll open a modified Article Entry window.

Enter the details of the event, and then select the date(s) on the calendar for the activity. The details area can be used for pictures, tables, hyperlinks - everything an article allows. When you're done, click Save and Close .

You'll see the days with events in bold on the calendar. You can have multiple events on any given day. Newsletter Ease will stretch the calendar to accommodate as many events as you need. When you Preview your calendar,

browse the calendar just like browsing it online.

Clicking into a month will show the events for the month. When you're ready to publish, go to the publish tab. All of the Calendar pages will be uploaded to your Web site.
