Col 2: Date
This specifies the day on which the workshop will occur. There is no specifically required form; however,
day and month are usually enough.
Col 3: Time
The time is usually a range, as in 10:00 - Noon There is no specifically required form. If a workshop is repeated
on the same day, two ranges may be specified. If a workshop spans two days, each day should have its own entry in the spreadsheet.
Col 4: Location
This specifies the park or camp or facility or town where the workshop will take place.
There is no specifically required form.
Col 5: Activity
This is a description of the nature of the workshop, presenttion or lesson. If necessary, you may include a link to
additional information; however, you must do this using proper HTML syntax. For example, <a
href="trainingpreview.htm">details</a> This creates a
link that looks like details
which when clicked on goes to the file trainingpreview.htm
Col 6: Audience
This lists who is expected to attend. For those workshops that are open to the public, that fact should be shown in bold, by entering something like
<b>Open to the Public</b>
Col 7: Presenter
This specifies who will be conducting the workshop. If it is a team
effort, multiple names should be listed.
Col 8: !
Column 8 must contain an exclamation point and nothing else.
A word of warning about putting certain HTML in any of the columns.
I have found that when Excel converts my spreadsheet to .csv
form, it handles anything in double quotes badly. For example,
above is an example of how to make a link for column 9; it contains double quotes
around the file name - a requirement for the HTML. In the .csv file, the text is changed to
the following:
"<a
href=""trainingpreview.htm"">details</a>"
During uploading, these extra double quotes in this
situation are removed; however, in general
you should avoid using double quotes unless they are syntactically required.
