Easily promote your Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida events through Panhandle OnLine's Event system.
Northwest Florida is all about events. Festivals, concerts, performances, exhibits, tournaments, and many other types of events all abound here and often compete with each other during the 'season'. If you have a business, you are likely involved in many events (and, if you're not, you should be). PCBeNews' parent site, Panhandle OnLine, has a quick and easy way to help you promote your events – and best of all, it's free! Here's how simple it is, if you are promoting an event, you will likely be creating a Facebook event and also posting it to the Twittersphere. To have your event included in our network of Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida/Emerald Coast websites, simply do this while creating that Facebook event – include nwfla in your invitation, post a status to the event and tag nwfla (by typing six characters @nwfla in the post), or post the event's link to the wall at the nwfla FB page. When you do either or all of the above, we will see your event and aggregate it so that it shows up in our newsfeed – which we then post on Panhandle OnLine.com/events.cfm and across our network of Northwest Florida websites, Facebook pages, Twitter Accounts, and more!
The only catch is that you have to Likethe nwfla FB page. That's not our requirement, but rather the way Facebook works. You can't tag a page unless you are connected to the page. But, that's not so bad because then you can easily keep up with all of the other events going on in the area right from your Facebook news feed. (If those posts do become a bother to you, you can simply hide the nwfla post at any time, while retaining the connection.)
In addition, you can send us a message on Twitter (we are also @nwfla on Twitter) and then tag us in your event posts on Twitter and we will grab them there for inclusion in our system.
And that's pretty much all there is to it! We have used nwfla as our username on both Facebook and Twitter because it is short and sweet and easy for you to remember. Even though it is less descriptive than would be Northwest Florida Events - it is easier for you to tag. We wanted to make it as easy for you as possible!
We have made it easy for you so you can make it easy for us to include your event and have a comprehensive aggregation of Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida/Emerald Coast events to distribute to the viewers of our network of Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida websites, social network pages, and more. We look forward to following and blasting promotions for your fun and exciting events!
(We're not just puffing when we say you will find all of the important Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida events on this page. We have come up with a trick or two to ensure that we include them all. Our next blog addresses those promoting events in the area and explains how they can very easily ensure their events are included.)
But, you say, no matter how great this new site is, my favorites tab is a mile long already and all of my gadgets for saving cites and organizing them are a jumbled-up mess – how will I remember this website when I'm planning an outing? Well, that's where Social Networking comes into play. If you have a Facebook page, simply click here right now and click the Like button on the NWFla page. When you do, events of all sorts all across the Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida will show up in your Facebook newsfeed, right when you need them! Also, you can follow us on Twitter as well.
If you are a Facebook/Twitter holdout, as some are, then we suggest rushing to your neighborhood tattoo parlor and tattooing panhandleonline.com/events.cfm in big bold letters on the back of your hand while you're thinking about it. That way, it will be right there when you do need it. If you're not the tattooing type . . . well then add it to your favorites and move it to the top of the list, write it down on a sticky note and stick to your computer monitor or the back of your smart phone, put a note with your gear, and tell all your friends about it so they can help you remember. Whatever it takes, remember to check panhandleonline.com/events.cfm whenever you have time to take in the wonders of the Florida Panhandle/Northwest Florida area!
In response to the recent article written by Seventeen magazine, and as a continuation of our 'Helpful Tips for Springbreakers' article from last year we present: Tips on How to Avoid Vomiting in Hottubs and Being "Hit on" by Forty Year Old Men During Your 2011 Spring Break in Panama City Beach.
In response to the recent article written by Seventeen magazine, and as a continuation of our 'Helpful Tips for Springbreakers' article from last year we present: Tips on How to Avoid Vomiting in Hottubs and Being "Hit on" by Forty Year Old Men During Your 2011 Spring Break in Panama City Beach.
Do Not get into a hottub with a man who appears to be 40 or older. Especially if he offers you booze (note: booze is often associated with nausea). This piece of advice covers both problematic issues purported by Seventeen. As with venereal disease and unplanned pregnancy, the best way to avoid these issues is through abstinence.
If you do find yourself in a hottub with persons of any age due to unforseen circumstances, take the extra precaution to decline any offers to be spun around rapidly until your head spins (note: this sensation is also often associated with nausea).
Consider taking a dose of Dramamine before entering any hottubs. In other words, when abstinence fails, use protection.
Steer clear of any bars or restaurants where several men above the age of 40 are gathered outside in packs. Also, if you are interested in being hit-on by men younger than 40, try to find bars/restaurants they are most likely to frequent instead.
Avoid partying at the retirement center.
When laying out at the beach, hold a copy of Seventeen magazine in front of your face and pretend to read it. Most older men will leave you alone, assuming you are underage. If this fails, say, "I'm underage."
Despite the return of the 80's, resist the urge to dress like Madonna circa 1987 and sing 'Like a Virgin.' This will attract men who were 20 in 1987.
Say 'sketchy' alot. While this may cause some nausea, it will ward off adults of any gender.
Carry mace. If that fails, follow my grandmother's adage "Kick 'em in the . . . shins."
For the guys: to 'Land that Cougar' . . . Substitute 'Women' for 'Men' and ignore tips 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9.
In all seriousness, remember to keep your wits about you while on vacation so that you can avoid any potentially dangerous situations and enjoy your Spring Break in Panama City Beach.
