How to list My Events on my website
When adding events to the US Sailing Calendar, you can enter a value for "Host Member ID".
By entering a valid US Sailing Member ID in this field, it can now be listed with other similarly-identified events on their own calendar. This allows you to enter any number of events into the US Sailing Calendar, and then list them in their own calendar on your own personal or organization's website. Here's how to do it:
- For each event you want listed on your calendar (regardless of the type of event), enter the same Host Member ID when adding the event.
- On your website, paste in the following line of html, replacing the 123456A with your Host Member ID:
