Register:
Click on the Register link in the lefthand column. Once the Registration form is displayed, type in the Security Code, your Name, Username, E-mail address and whatever you’d like for a password.

Post a Blog item:
You must be a registered user here to post a blog item. This is to prevent anyone from changing or removing someone else’s blog items. Once you’re logged in, click on My Blog Dashboard on the User Menu in the lefthand column.
You're taken to a page which lists your current entries, if any. The preferences tab allows you to enter a brief comment about your blog. The stats tab shows stats for the items you've entered. The Comments tab shows comments people have made about your entries.
When you click Write New Entry button on the Blog Dashboard, a new window pops up for you to enter a subject line and your main text. Over on the righthand side, clickTags and check off the appropriate tag or tags for you. Or, enter a new one if the right one isn't there. Click Images of you want to upload an image for your blog entry. First choose a file, then click Upload.
Once you're done with your blog entry click Save and Close in the upper right. Your blog will appear in the Blogs section of the Web site.
Add an event to the Events Calendar:
Because we've been getting spam attacks aimed at the Events Calendar, you'll need to register and login to post Event items. It's easy to post, however. Once you've logged in, go to the Events Calendar and click the Add Event button in the upper left. Fill in a title and description. Choose a category. Then a start date and time. Fill in a duration. Note the default entry is 1 day...you’ll need to wipe out the 1 if your event is shorter than one day (which is probably is). If you want Contact Info, an Email address and Web address to show, fill that in, too. The event will be posted instantly.
Add a business to the Business Listings:
No need to register to post a Business Listing, but if you don’t register fist you won’t be able to modify your listing. Go to the business Listings area and click on Add Entry. Fill in the Business name, street, city and your email address, plus other information you want to be displayed. You can upload your logo, if you have one. Choose a category by clicking on it on the left side, then clicking the >>> button. Tick off that you accept the terms of use and type in the safety code. Click Send and the listing will be posted instantly.
