DIY- Website Calendar Posts

Written By Brandon Jellison

hanks for your interest in helping posting all of the incredible athletic events and social activities that the NAA has to offer. Here are some basic steps to help you get started:

  • On Squarespace/ website/ pages/ unlinked pages/ select “Calendar Events” blog

  • Create a new event based on one of the events you add the title and the body of the blog post….

    • You can photos, a short description and even embed a Strava Route.

    • Save and exit.

  • Then in the list of blog posts, find the one you just created and select Settings (This step is key) from the 3 horizontal dots. Here you can update the :

    • Content - Add your content and image

    • Options - 

      • Status - here is where you schedule to get the event to show up on the calendar in the right spot.

      • Tags - not needed at this stage

      • Categories - not needed at this stage

    • SEO - a good place to recopy the title and the content of the post so people find the information fast, otherwise Squarespace will populate with generic info about our site. 

    • Social image + Share - not needed at this stage

    • Location - this is great because it shows the exact location where this event happens/starts when someone hovers over the calendar.
