How to Post an Event

In case you would like a step by step HOWTO for posting a new event on DFHA.ORG, you found the right place. This may be more verbose than it needs to be, but once you go through it once, you will just be able to do it. Posting an event is really pretty easy if you have all the information in front of you.

Things you will need:

  • Event Title
  • Event Description
  • Start Date and Time
  • End Date and Time
  • Location Name
  • Location Full Address

Got everything together? Then let's begin.

Creating a User Account

First of all, you need a user on the DFHA.ORG web site. If you haven't done so already, look down the left side of the page until you see the block that says "User Login". Below the login button is a link that says "Create New Account". Click that link, then enter your choice for a user name, mixed case and spaces are valid, but you will need to enter it exactly the same way when you login. Enter your email address and click the "Create New Account" button. Your new password and further instructions will be mailed to the address you enter.

Now that you have a user, you need to login by entering your user and password in the "User Login" box on the left side of the page. Now let's create a new event.

Creating an Event

So you have all your information, you are logged into your DFHA account and you are looking at the DFHA home page. Click the link on the left that says "Submit Event". This will take you to a page where you fill out the fields and press the "Submit" button, and you're done! Now let's talk about each field that you need to fill out.
