Event Calendar Added to DanceWeb Home Page

DanceWeb has supported dated Dance Events for many years; we have now added to the home page a simple to use Calendar of events for the next six weeks. If you are in a subsite (Linedance or Salsa etc) then only the events for that genre are displayed. A yellow cell is visible if there are any events on a specific day; just run your mouse over the cell, and a drop-list list appears, with a summary of each event. Click on any item in the list, and the full details are shown in a new window. The initial display is of the events for the next six weeks, but by clicking on the >> symbols in the header, you can page through to the next six-week block.

Note to Event Organisers: When you add an event to DanceWeb, it is not just displayed in the new home page Calendar! It is also shown in:

1. The home page block of "New Dance Events".
2. The News Page of "New Dance Events".
3. The RSS Feed of "New Dance Events".
4. The Blog of New Content.
5. The DanceWeb Mapplet
6. Any search that is relevant to event dance activity.
