This can be entered in the \u201cwebsite\u201d field.<\/li>\n<li>Adding an image is a great way to get your event noticed. Images without text are preferred; small text might not be readable. If you have a photo of the speaker\/artist, that\u2019s perfect.<\/li>\n<li>At the end of the form, you can select multiple tags related to your event. For example, Night at the Museum could be tagged \u201cSlater Museum,\u201d \u201cParent\/Family,\u201d \u201cPublic,\u201d and \u201cScience.\u201d This would help community members find the event when searching by any of those categories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And that\u2019s it! Once you hit Submit, we\u2019ll take it from there.
