As most you know.. Events Bangalore is my personal hobby project and not full time job. Some times I will not be able to publish the events in time due to my regular work. So for those who send me the events regularly…you can now get trusted “contributor” access to eventsbnaglore so you can post the events to front page. So who will get the access
- You send the events regulary to EB or you own a theater/dance group who want to publish the events directly.
- You promise NOT to SPAM
- You know how to post on wordpress blog — or ready to learn
- Let me know. I will create a userid/pw for you. Contact me here.
Once you get userid/pw
- Login
- Click on “write” on top
- Enter title and text ( you add pictures by giving direct urls or by uploading it. Make sure image with is 500px or less)
- When you give the event date in text. Use the format dd-mmm-yyyy for example 01-jan-2008 so it gets on to the calendar automatically.
Select the categories - Click on publish
- Voila its on the front page of EB
Have Fun,

@thej thanks for the great effort till date …
But am not sure of the consequences, as i primarily subscribe to eventsbangalore on channels (Google Reader and Twitter) where i can’t set up filters.
my thoughts.. how about a 2 phase model?
say you set up an email id (or google app engine app) and allow a few trusted moderators access to read that…
everyone(including theatre group owners) can email their events…
and the moderators can quickly scan through them and post/tweet the relevant/best/properly-labelled ones…
pros- quality first, fewer ppl who need to access wordpress, more scalable…
cons- ???
