To go directly to the Idaho ACDA calendar, click here.
If you're like me, you'll just jump in and do the calendar stuff without attempting to following directions. It's fairly intuitive, so go right ahead.

However, if you would need help with entering data, read on:

Entering your event on the ID ACDA calendar
1. After opening the calendar, find the month and year of your event. You can go directly to the month by clicking on the month of your event in the "Navigate" line. Be sure to click on 2005 for events happening next year.
2. Place your cursor arrow on the day of the month that your event is to happen (the cursor becomes a hand). Click on this. (You can also get to the same screen by clicking on word "daily" in the line toward the left top of the page called "Add Events.")
3. A window comes up that allows you to "Create a new calendar entry." Verify that the date highlighted in blue at the top of this window is the date of your event.
4. Click in the white space labeled "Calendar text." This places your cursor in position to enter text.
5. Type the basic information...name of group or event, location of the event. Keep this as short as possible. Please don't get verbose, it makes the calendar really look odd.
6. Click on the "start time" blue arrow. Choose the start time. Do the same with the end time...guess, if you must.
7. If you would like a border around your material, click in the appropriate box as shown.
8. If the event is a concert, click on the category down arrow and choose "concerts." If the event is not a concert, skip this.
9. The "pop-up text" area leaves you room to explain more about the event. If you type in nothing but a URL for a website, the viewer is taken immediately to that site. Or you can insert the URL in the text explaining the details of the event. Be sure to include the full URL, that is: http://etc...
10. Play with the color of the background choices as you wish. We suggest you make sure the text is readable against the background.
11. Click on "SUBMIT."
12. You can then view the material on the actual calendar by clicking on "view" at the top left of this window.

WARNING: This is a free calendar program and occasionally it "hangs up." If this happens, close it down and try again. Mostly it works really well, but don't get frustrated. "Free" is a good price.

Finally, please don't use the calendar to tell us your birthday or your kid's birthday. It will not result in gifts coming your way. Use the calendar for choral events or events you are sure would be of interest to Idaho ACDA members.
