>The web service Tanguia has now been in operation for more than >two months. More than 500 events and four dozen tours etc have >been published so far. Of these, almost 250 events and a dozen >tours have already passed and have dropped out of the calendars. >One of the basic idea of Tanguia is the live calendar of events, day >by day. Perhaps you wonder why we make the calendar this way, >instead of traditional event list (i.e Milonga on xxx street every >Wednesday at 22.00) It is simple; we have found that regular >tangueros appreciate a calendar where they can see all the events in >their city on a certain date. People like it, use it, if the list is fairly >comprehensive. We are not there yet but working on it! So we would >love to see more events and tours, especially milongas, classes, >concerts, shows etc in the calendar. It may seem a little complicated >at first but actually, it is not, once you get the idea. We would >suggest the following approach: > >- publish one event (milonga, class etc) with all the information for >that event. > >- use the "Copy" function to publish the event in the calendar on all >valid dates. It is quite simple to publish a returning event, every >week, for up to six months in advance. Once you know how, you can >do it in a minute. > >- If you have different information for some date, (i.e. DJ, guest >performer, workshop theme) you can use the "Change" function to >modify the information for that date. > >We think it would be worth the effort for you if it brings you just one >more visitor to your event. As long as the information is correct, and >not redundant, you can publish as many events as you like! We have >members who have published more than 50 events. No problem! If >you have a milonga two days per week, you will have more than 50 >events in half a year. If you haven classes, twice per day, five days >per week you will have more than 200 in half a year. Also no >problem! For continuing classes that are not open for new students >every time, please publish only the starting dates. > >Festival arrangers: feel free to publish all the individual classes, >milongas etc for the festival in the calendar for the city where it takes >place. > >If you have trouble entering events in the calendar, send us your >event information and we will help you getting it there. We would >also appreciate any feedback, suggestions etc to make Tanguia >better. > >New on Tanguia since the start: > >- A new members page that is clearer and easier to use >- For rent. Rooms, apartments, houses, dance studios for rent, >especially for traveling tangueros >- An international link / address summary list > >There will be more! > > >Best regards and thanks for reading this far! > >PS If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot your >password?"-link >on the members page or send us an e-mail. > >PSS We would appreciate a link from your web page to ours! >-- >http://www.tanguia.com >[email protected] >Tanguia, la guma del tango en el mundo.
