-[b][u]Ranged Event[/u][/b]...  This is used for Multi day events, rarely used.  Examples would be like  Wow Get-together in New York, Server down for complete overhaul.  You would put in the start date, and the end date.

-[u][b]Recurring Event[/b][/u]... You can set up weekly/monthly/yearly events. You put in the first date, then choose the Recurring Event option, and make sure you put in an end date.

-[b][u]Type of Event[/u] [/b]  Fairly self explanatory.  You want to put your Wife’s anniversary somewhere, and you don’t have anywhere else, then this should work.  I don’t know for a fact, but my gut feeling is that this is slightly frowned upon, due to ‘wasting’ database space.

-Since folks cannot add a reply to your calendar event, create a post in the [URL=http://www.theamazonbasin.com/wow/forums/index.php?showforum=8]Meeting Place[/URL] forum.  Copy the URL from that post, and make it a link in the body of your calendar event.  This allows folks to discuss your event.  Folks that wish to attend your event should reply to that thread to let the raid leader know there is enough (or too much) support for the raid.
