-A new box will appear, click "Browse" to find the file and once it is chosen, click "Upload File"

Important Note: whenever entering text into the body section {whether it be for the event calendar, blog etc} it is strongly recommended to type/format written content in notepad. Next, copy and paste the text into the body box on the ChicagoClassicalMusic.org template.
It is extremely difficult to format text by writing directly into the box template. Also, there is no save mode or any way to go back if you make a mistake - everything will be lost, so make sure you save your work.
