2. Uploading an image is optional. If no image is chosen a Humber default image will go in its place.

Add Descriptions

1. Add a "Short Description" that will show before the event text is cut off. This is needed to save the event. 150 characters max
2. Add a "Long Description" if the event has more than 150 characters.
3. If a "Custom Template" is being used to add a link then the long description is not needed as it will not show.

Add Custom Template

How to Publish/Unpublish an Event

1. Add a "Publish" date when you would like the event to be published.
2. Add a "Unpublish" date if you want the event unpublished on a certain date. Leave the "Unpublish" box empty if you would like the event to stay up.
