WOMEN AND THE MACHINE


THE BASICS

This page is intended to list upcoming events -- appearances, a new publication, whatever.

You may want to hide this section as you construct your website so you can focus on other sections instead. (It may make sense to start with just three sections: a home page, My Works page and Biography).

To hide this or any section, click on the "Edit menu" box directly above the navigation bar (the bar that lists "Home, My Works, Biography," etc.) Click the appropriate "hide" buttons, and save the result.

This section, and any section, can also be renamed by using the "Edit menu" box. See the Help section in the toolbar at the top of the page for more information.

This information also appears in the Help section in the toolbar at the top of the page. Delete this entire entry by clicking the small blue "Delete" box that appears directly above this entry when you're in Edit Mode.

Events
