Submitting Information for Publication

NormanStudios.org. makes an effort to provide accurate information, however, we do not guarantee the accuracy of any details.

As a public service, NormanStudios.org publishes information about area events that are not related to NormanStudios.org.  These publications are not an indication that NormanStudios.org is directly connected to any other organization other than Old Arlington, Inc.

• Events:
  • On the events page, there is a link on the left side you can use to submit event details.  It starts an e-mail that starts filling in the e-mail body.*
  • You may also go to the Contact page and supply information via the feedback form.
    
    
  • If the event is a recurring event, please let us know the date rules (such as third Saturday of May).
    
    
  • We need to know about an event at least two months before in order to work the data into the website and have it be there long enough to be of value to the public.
    
    

• Events Displayed Details:
  • Events show up on our events page (per year). If the information would take up an excessive amount of space, a separate page is created to show the full details (involves 2 files per event). If the event is an annual event, then it gets added to future year event pages (or future year individual pages). The event will also be mentioned on the calendar pages. Calendar page links will be to the individual event page or to the default events page. The event will also be mentioned on several pages at the left side on the day before (Tomorrow in Arlington) and the day of the event (Today in Arlington). Large weekend events will also be mentioned for the entire week preceding the weekend (This weekend in Arlington). If the event is a really significant event, it also gets included in the "Next event in Arlington" notice.
    
    
  • The Home page of any website is the most visited. At the top of our home page text is an arbitrary notice that shows up only when there is something that we need to alert everyone to. Occasionally an event is so significant or the information arrives so late that there is not enough time to get it fully integrated into the website. In these rare cases, we have placed some short text in this notice area to inform the public.
    
    

You can see that as many as 8 files (and up to 12 for extra pages) may need to be modified just to get an event integrated into our website. Please be patient and submit early.

If you are submitting a photo or graphic for publication on the web, make sure that you use the "permission to publish" forms from our public forms page in our Resources section.

Events are broken down into years, meaning the events page is for one year only.  At the end of a year, if there are January events for the next year, they are also displayed at the bottom of the current year, otherwise, they might not get noticed until the new year.  When the new year arrives, the January events are only accessible on the standard events page for that year.

There are two forms of the events page.  One shows all the events for the entire year.  The other shows only remaining events for the year, plus a couple very significant events; otherwise, our events page might end up being blank at some point.  In this case we would like to show that we do have some things happen in Arlington.  The default events page is the one that shows only remaining events.  The full events list is accessible at the top left of the events page.  Likewise from that page, you can switch back to the partial list.  When a link to a section of the events page is necessary, it is made to the full list so that after the event, the link will continue to lead to a page that displays the information.  Links to past year event pages are also made to the full list version.

In addition to the defaults events page, we also display information about events that occur outside Arlington but have some connection to Arlington.
