Posting to the Webcastathon Schedule
Illya,

When you log in to http://worldbridges.net/
and go to: http://worldbridges.net/node/3565
do you see an edit tab like this?
Posting to Webcastathon
Jeff, you are certainly asking the right question, because I do not see the tabs above. I fiddles a bit and got an outlook site, but I had problems navigating and couldn't post there either.
Any ideas?Never mind. I realized I had to log in to Worldbridges separately. Got it :-)
Thanks!!!
adding a webcastathon show
So how do I add a show? I don't use outlook and I tried to reserve a time, but I couldn't add a title for the show.
Thanks for any help :-)
Illya
