Re: [WebContent] Calendars

A couple of weeks ago, Jim Saxe mentioned: and I submit information to both of these sites. Each has an idiosyncratic data entry system. Both are painful. As far as I know, neither of these sites uses any automated tools for collecting data. If someone doesn't manually enter the data, it doesn't appear. (Thanks to this discussion, I remembered to add the latest information I manage!) I maintain the schedule information for the Corvallis Folklore Society (http://cfs.peak.org/dance/calendar.php) and the Eugene Folklore Society (http://eugenefolklore.org/dances.php#danceschedule) here in Oregon. I "inherited" management of both sites, and updated them to at least use standard XHTML, with a tiny bit of PHP doing little more than supporting an "include" function. I code in raw HTML to update the sites. It's pretty tedious. I'm considering moving the Eugene site to wordpress, but haven't looked into it much at all. I'm glad to hear of Lisa's experience. That provides a bit more encouragement for choosing wordpress. A Corvallis dancer is working on an upgrade to their site, using Python and Django. His first task was to replace/update the on-line registration process for the Corvallis dance weekend (http://corvallisfolklore.org/ccw). Perhaps I should point him in the direction of the ICAL standard. Best regards, William a contra dancer since 1989, caller since 1992, and Oregon resident since 2001. P. S. Sorry not to engage in this conversation more promptly. I have this mailing list set to use my mailing list email address. Given the low traffic volume, perhaps I should change to use my "regular" address (williamcallscontras(a)gmail.com). -- wjw1961(a)gmail.com This is my bulk mail / mailing list address. William J.
