One of the most exciting things we have prepared for you is our CONNECTIONS tool. If you would like to find more stuff like that museum you love, your favorite musician, things to do in a city, themes discussed in the blogs, or, actually, any other thing, look for this icon () and move your mouse over the icon: you will find interesting connections with the item you are in. If there are no connections yet, you can create expose them: if you type in what you are looking for and press the search button, you will be given back all events, museums, and blogs that have some kind of link to the page you are in. Using CONNECTIONS you will find a web of interesting and useful surprises!

You can contribute your artistic pictures to Cvltvre either through the Photos functionality, to a collaborative album in Sites and Sights or into your Blog posts. Just make sure that you have reduced the size and weight of the image so that Cvltvre can manage it. In the future, Cvltvre will do this for yuo automatically, but at this point this will fall on you. If you have issues with your images, contact us at support@cvltvre.com.

Go to the Events page, and press on the "Add Event" button. You will see a form in which several fields are mandatory (look for *). When entering the address and geographical information, make sure that the address is in the format that our system reads in order to geolacte it appropriately: in the address field, Cvltvre just needs the name of the street and the number. Avoid adding things like "corner of..."

Follow the same directions as in Events. Remember about the address!!!

A new window will open in which you will be able to enter the Feed URL of the publication, that is, the web link that your favorite sites give you in their RSS pages: just paste it here. Then add the title you want to use to identify this specific source, and then introduce the tags you want so that you can search through them later on. Then, press the ADD FEDD button and the system will fetch for the latest news from that source. Do the same with all your favorite sources of information.
Once you have all your sources, you can start reading, navigate through their titles or use your own tags to get to the source you want to read.
