No, it's not. Especially when trying to create new distinctive templates and designs each year for TISC

 

Are you able to work with HTML ?

One font is enough, I already find it strange when people use different fonts as a standard, especially if it's Comic Sans, come on, we're not 12 years old  (apart from @Olympian1010 )

I think I used to edit posts on an old forum using codes and it was a nightmare

Anyway I can prepare a list of all the available fonts in the future and you can use them through copy and paste

Hello everyone,

 

from 2019 on, we will have a sports calendar here on Totallympics, with the aim of having the most detailed list of all the international sports events going on day by day/week by week/month by month, both for winter and summer sports, both for Olympic and non-Olympic sports.

 

Here is the link to the Calendar and you can also see a shortcut in the home page under the Totallympics logo.

 

The instructions for the Calendar are really quite simple, you can choose 4 different views, by month, by week, by day or "Event Stream" which is a more detailed list by month (the monthly view can get very "heavy" when there are a lot of events going on).

 

 

All the users will be able to add a new event to the calendar, so to make this project successful we need the help of all of you.

 

If you want to add a new event to the calendar, you just have to click on "Create Event"

 

 

You can then choose if you want to add the event in the Summer Sports, Winter Sports or Multi-Sport Games calendar and you will be redirected to another page in which you have to choose the dates the event is running:

 

 

You should always select "This is an all day event" (We are not adding timings to the sport events, it's ok they cover all day). And if the event last for more than one unselect "Single day event" and you will then have to add the Event End.

 

In the bottom part you have a normal text box where you can add the details of the event. You can try and follow the format of the other events already added in the Calendar (example) and a moderator will fix the format if necessary.

 

We are trying to keep track of every single international event (so the National Championships will not be added unless they are with international participation) so the most events we have in the calendar, the better it is.

 

In the following post you will find a list of the sports already added and those already to add in the Calendar for 2019. Keep in mind you can keep adding new events for each sport when you spot a new event which is missing in the calendar.

 

I hope you enjoy it and with the community help we can have the most detailed sports calendar around the web

Can we add important events in non-Olympic international sports as well (examples: Korfball, Fistball, Marathon Canoe, Ultimate Frisbee)

Absolutely yes, as long as they are international events

As of now, the 2019 calendar includes all the 2018-2019 winter sports season events, the 2019 winter multi-sport games and 3 summer sports: Tennis, Archery and Artistic Swimming. Lots of work ahead so users who are interested to contribute can choose one or more sports and start adding events.
