Web instructions: How to post an event to the CCC web page                  by Joy Cheung
I am using one of my Evergreen Club meeting posts as an example.
1. Write the descriptions of your event and save as a work document first. Do the spell check. Right click to "copy" the entire document for later use.
2. Go to www.cccalbany.org
3. Find the USER LOGIN on the left side, near the bottom.
4. Type in your user name (JOY.CHEUNG)
5. Type in your password (XXXXXX).
If you need to open an account, contact Zhaohui Yang (jamesyzh@yahoo.com)
6. Wait. You will then see your name (JOY.CHEUNG) next to the orange star in the left side column.
7. Click on "Create Content".
8. Click on "Event".
9. In the "Title" box, type "CCC Evergreen Club May Lunch"
10. In the "Organization" box, put your curser on the down arrow to select your organization (Evergreen Club), and click on the name of your club.
11. Leave the Service box blank.
12. In the "Body" box, put the curser in the first line (white background), and right click "paste". Now the details of your event is in this box.
13. In the "Date" box, select the numbers you want from the dropdown menus.
(For my event, I picked
From date: May, 1, 2010, 11, 30, am
To date: May, 1, 2010, 2, 00, pm.)
14. In the "Location" box, type the address on the white line on the top (11 Avis Drive, Latham, NY 12110).
15. Click on the "Save" box.
16. Now you will see on the top of the page" Your event has been created".
17. Read over your posting again. If there is a mistake you want to correct, click on "Edit" on the top. Make the changes and then click on "save".
18. Go back to the front page of the CCC web page. Look on the left side, in the "RECENT POSTS" box. You will see your event listed there.
19. If a week later, you want to change something in your post (the date, time, location, name of the guest, etc.), go back to step #7 above. Click on "Recent Posts", then "MY RECENT POSTS". Find the one that you want to modify, click on that line.  You now see the posting that you want to edit. Click on "EDIT" on the top, type in the new info, and click on the "Save" box on the bottom. Now you have made the changes.
