The Event calendar is for community events, not advertising. Please post your long running or ongoing event to the Announcements forum.
Those who wish to advertise on TucsonKids can begin with the 'Advertise' FAQ entry.
Login and then click 'Create content -> Classified Ads'. Follow the prompts and then click 'Submit'.
One of the powerful things about a Wiki is the ability to collaboratively generate well structured and linked articles. If I make a statement that references another important idea, I can simply enclose that phrase in double square brackets and that phrase will be displayed as a link.
If you click on the link and that word or phrase does not yet exist as a wiki article, the wiki engine will propose that you create a new wiki page.
So, if you have an idea that's important, make it into a link using the double square bracket convention and either make a 'target' page, or leave it for the community. Wiki's make this easy, so give it a try.

When logged in, use the 'My Workspace' link. Enter your details and content type.
Most content types are self explanatory. Use the Announcements forum for ongoing classes or whatever seems appropriate.
For Events use the repeating event feature if appropriate. Look for the 'repeat' tab available when in 'edit' mode. Your event will automatically be removed from the calendar after it's ending time has passed.
