 * Edit: Hi there @ at - I enjoyed attending our event yesterday! I came in here to add this comment, rather than Create a 'Talk' page anew, because I was going to View Source, then copy and paste to a NEW page for our upcoming Mon, Dec 5, 2022 @ 6-8pm PT SDPL event, but thought there might be more to it than that, so that our info gets auto-populated over to the Calendar and worldwide events list. Question/Cheerful Request- could you show me sometime how you update the events here? I suppose you likely clone the full page of wiki code, then edit it down as necessary, yes? I think the more of us in the Group that have the knowledge of how to do so, the sooner we can get the word out AND the less stress and work burden on you. :) Cheerful regards, -From Peter {a.k.a.
