IMPORTANT! When entering information into Internet forms,
you must click in the box you wish to edit, or use the
"TAB" key to move to the next text box. If you press the
"Enter/Return" key you will activate the form, perhaps before
you are ready!
First obtain a username and password. This is to keep track
of the entries you make and allow only you to make changes
to those entries. Click on Get your username and fill out
the simple form. Enter a username, password and e-mail
address. This information is for the system and for myself.
No e-mail addresses will be sold or distributed. I need to
have an e-mail address to contact you if there are any
questions or problems. Requiring an e-mail address may also
dissuade pranksters from entering bad information. Any user
entering a bad e-mail address will be removed.
Once you have obtained a username and password, You can
add an event. Click on Add an Event, enter your username and
password and fill out the form. When a new event is added,
it is added to a temporary database. This allows me to review
the information before adding it to the main database. This
is also to prevent pranksters from adding things that may be
offensive. I will check the temporary database and update the
main database on a daily basis, unless I'm off to a rendezvous.
After the main database has been updated, the event can be
edited, by clicking Edit an Event. You will recieve a list of
only the events you entered. From there you can edit any of
those events. Edits will show up in the main database
immediately.
The information on the form to add an event is mostly self-
explainitory. However, a few notes on that subject will be helpful.
Use letters and numbers only for all rendezvous data, (except that forward slashes are used in the date fields). Some other characters like double or single quotes (apostrophe) can really mess up the database.
