Event listing websites

    • this site folds lines - seems to depend on browser and browser settings - might be better to enter listing without folding lines, except where explicit folds are desired (and perhaps then use a <BR> or </P><P> tags, as appropriate - and if the site recognizes them - see also note immediately below).
    • The site/listings accept at least some HTML - e.g. <A HREF=" … so … use them :-)
