Listing Title & Tagline

the Title & Taglines show on the Directory results pages and your Listing
they can be changed anytime
the Tagline is optional
you can leave the Tagline blank, put in your Organisation name, or say something to connect with potential attendees

Full Address

the address you enter puts your pin on the map
start typing your address, if a drop-down list appears select the address that matches yours, if a list doesn’t drop-down just type in your address
you don’t have to put in your full address, if you only put in a street/suburb/town the system will put your map pin in what it thinks is the middle of the street/suburb/town
if your Event is ONLINE ONLY then leave the address field blank

City

these are used by the filter system when visitors want to select Events by location
select your closest city/town and suburb from the drop-down list
this list is a work in progress, so if you can’t find your location let us know and we’ll add it
if your Event will be held in multiple locations ONLY select the city/town and suburb relevant to THIS Listing or it will distort the map

Phone

enter the phone number you want attendees to contact you on
you can leave the box blank if you don’t want to be contacted by phone

Website

if you want a link to your website enter the address here

Select Your Listing Features

these filters help potential attendees select Events that suit their needs

Social Media

you can add links to your Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts
select the type of social media
enter the address
save it by clicking the blue + button

Description

this is a required field, and your Listing will not save if you leave it blank
you can use the basic editor to format your text, if you have any problems get in touch I am happy to tidy it up for you
if you hover over the grey triangle in the bottom right corner and drag it you can make the editing box bigger for easier use
Heading 3 will give you a BLUE heading in the published page, but it will still look black in the editor itself

Video

you can add a link to a video in this box
videos can be a great way to talk to potential attendees
they don’t have to be professionally made, try creating one on your phone, it just needs to be a good resolution and have clear audio
keep them short, 1-3 minutes is generally recommended for a website

Images

NOTE: when a Listing won’t save it’s usually because you are trying to upload a very large image file or too many images at once. Try saving your Listing BEFORE you add any images and then adding them one at a time, saving after each image. Or feel free to send your images to us and we’ll add them for you.
these images will show in the gallery at the top of your Listing
images will work best if they are 245px wide by 270px high
if you don’t know how to crop and resize your images feel free to send me the originals I’m happy to do it for you
you can add as many images as you like, but be aware that not many people take the time to scroll through a slide show so put your best 3 first

Featured Image

this image will be displayed in the Directory Results pages
images will work best if they are 245px wide by 270px high
if you don’t know how to crop and resize your images feel free to send me the originals I’m happy to do it for you
