  • http://www.calsnet.net/polocalendar
  • ...
• Standard abbreviations, these are provide to minimize the calendar text. Please try to use these when posting.
  • PC = Polo Club
  • RPG = Regular Practice Games
  • e-mail to: sccz@yahoo.com with new ones and they will be posted.
• Colors: Try not to match colors of another event on the same day, this is of mutual benifit to since different colors make the different events stand out.
• Adding to the Calendar: Polo Calendar encourages a policy of distributed maintenance, i.e. polo calendar readily distributes authorization for polo event adding, just e-mail to: sccz@yahoo.com To keep things in order it would work best if each request were made directly to sccz@yahoo.com, i.e. please don't post or distribute the access yourselves.
• Corrections, Changes, Editing and Deleting: To distribute the burden of maintaining alterations to the Polo Calendar this authorization is provided to a number of "centers", those who wish to be listed are listed below. A little more care is taken in passing out this access, your patience is appreciated.
  • sccz@yahoo.com
• Basic instructions (full details are at www.calendars.net. These are just the basics you'd need for simple posting.
  • Click the date of the calendar to add an event to that day.
  • Now is when you can select the events to be "periodic" (regular repeating).
  • Select the "Create" link, this brings up a "Create a New Calendar Entry" form.
  • In the "Calendar Text" put a very brief event title and where the event is, for example "Lakeside PC, Admiral's Cup"
  • In the "Pop up text or URL link" you can add a detailed description of your event. By url link, they mean if you just enter your sites url (with no returns or spaces, e.g. http://lakesidepolo.tripod.com) the result will be a hot link on that event.
  • The last necessary item is to "Color Select" do this by clicking the "color select" button and selecting a color different from other events on that date. Note you can change both the background and the text colors (if these are the same your notice will appear invisible).
• Very often, especially if working behind a fire wall there a message like "Server Error" pops up. Normally simply a click on the reload button fixes it. Regardless, some degree of patience and persistance is necessary to work with this system, like any other.
