Anita, there was a temporary issue with adding events, but it's been resolved now. Can you please check the Events page again? This time you should be seeing the Add an Event link in the upper right of the events page. If not, please let me know.

Martin - thanks - I do have a question. Seems that when I go to the Events page there is no choice offered to me to 'add an event'. Could be because of the fact that from the 'main' page, the only options given to me on the welcome page are to invite friends, add photos or videos, add a blog post or edit my profile. Seems the ability to add an event is a function not granted.
