VIDEO: How to Post Events on Pacifica Patch

Self-posting items on our calendar is the fastest way to get your event up on the site. Watch this video to find out how.

Pacifica Patch is designed in a way that is easy for users to post their own calendar events and announcements without having to wait for our calendar editor to post it for you.

Self-posting your calendar item can instantly disseminate your information, and is the fastest way to get your event up on the site.

Our calendar editor is responsible for maintaining the calendar for all 12 Patch websites along the Peninsula.

There are other advantages to posting your own calendar listings and announcements: if you need to edit or cancel information already posted — or if you wish to delete it — you will be able to take action right away yourself, rather than waiting for her to do it for you.

Follow this video tutorial to see how to post announcements step by step.

Instructional Video and instructions below by Rosemont Patch editor Cody Kitaura:

The video above explains how it works, and it's incredibly easy.

Here's a step-by-step:

  1. Log in to Patch. Click here for a tutorial on how to create an account.
  2. Click on "Events" on the top of the page.
  3. At the bottom of the Events page, click "Add an Event."
  4. Give your event a title.
  5. Choose a date, starting time and end time. If your event repeats, check the box that says "This event happens more than once or is an ongoing event."
  6. Under "Where," type in an address or the name of a location. If adding an address, include the city so the site knows where to place the event. Once you have a location, click on that location to save it.
  7. Fill out a description for your event. Tell us why we should be there and what to expect at the event.
  8. If you'd like to add photos, videos or a flier, click "Choose files to upload."
  9. Choose a category and fill out any other information, such as who the event is best for, the price, a contact number or email address, website, etc.
  10. Click "Post My Event."
  11. Tell all your friends how easy it was!
