This web site is designed for a variety of uses. The best way to get started is to register as a Level 0 Member. This is free. Choose a user name and a password will be sent to you. You can subscribe to as many groups as you want.

Once you have signed up, you can then post content in blog format, participate in discussions, create events, classifieds, and share resources using the wiki or announcements area.

To see all that you can do, Click on the 'Create content' link under your user name when logged in.

When logged in, use the 'Create content -> Event' menu link. Enter your details and content type.
Most content types are self explanatory.

Use the Announcements forum for ongoing classes or whatever seems appropriate.

See the Classified FAQ for Classifieds.

Events appear in the 'Upcoming events' block. Your event will automatically be removed from the calendar after its ending time has passed. However, it will still show up in search results, popular content and when browsing.

NOTE: Please be polite and set real start and end dates for your event. Do not enter a long running class and set the end date on the last day of class. It messes up the Calendar view for everyone. When we notice we will remove the event and, if repeated, will get you banned from the site.

The TucsonKids community offers unique advertising opportunities to its members.

If our free Classifieds, Announcements or Calendar are not enough to consistently and reliably share your company's message, please consider becoming an advertising member.
