Hi $Human, Thanks for letting me know that you would like to host a class. First, I need some basic information from you. The easy things that I need to know are: When: How long: Where: How many people: Cost per person: Next we need to work together to create a blog post to spread the word about your class. And finally I will create an Eventbrite and blog post for you based upon this information.

Eventbrite
Eventbrite uses images as a criteria for ranking events in search. Use of an image helps to get the event found and for more people to show up. For the best possible event image, make sure your image file meets the following requirements:
• Dimensions: Find at least a 1050 x 525px (2:1 ratio) image. A 2:1 ratio image is twice as wide as it is tall (or close to that ratio).
• File Type: Images with file types JPEG, BMP, PNG, or GIF work best.
• File Size: Use an image that's no larger than 10MB.
Post the event on our calendar

Eventbrite Widget
This is a little piece of code that allows someone viewing our website to see ticket prices, how many tickets are left, and different ticket types (if they are available). A version of the widget that has been optimized for our website has been included below. To use it, copy and paste the code below into the text portion of your blog post remembering to replace [Your-Event-ID-Here] with the event id that Eventbrite generated for your event.
As a nicety to the website please also include a <!--more--> tag before the widget. Including the tag will prevent clutter on our front page and improve load times.
<div style="width: 100%; text-align: left;"> <iframe src="//eventbrite.com/tickets-external?eid=[Your-Event-ID-Here]&ref=etckt" width="100%" height="306" frameborder="0" marginwidth="5" marginheight="5" scrolling="no"></iframe> <div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px 0 5px; margin: 2px; width: 100%; text-align: left;"></div> </div>
