Tutorial: How To Find What You Are Looking For

Enjoy Utah! was designed to help you find family-friendly events (sometimes FREE!) to do with your kids and family.

How to use Enjoy Utah! to find what you are looking for:

Most Recent Posts
These are always listed as the biggest section on our site. They are the most recent posts we have done. To view our archive, look for the Blog Archive listing on the side of the site. You can also use the search box if you are looking for something specific.

Pages
The pages will always be listed across the top of the site, or close to the top so you can easily find them. This is the quickest way to find what you are looking for.
  • Home - This is the main page of our site.
  • FREE Events and Places - I know how tight family budgets can be, so I always appreciate free events. I want to make sure you know about them as well! This page will have a list of events by date and places that are always free.
  • Seasonal Activities - The name of this page will change according to the current season/holiday. Anything related to the current season, upcoming holidays, etc., will be listed on this page. Some of the information on this page will be related to Utah, and other information will be related to the current season in general. This page name will change according to the current season; ie, Winter in Utah, Holiday Events, Summer Activities, etc. You can find this page at the top of the blog under the specific season name.
  • Calendar - If you are looking for something to do on a specific date, this is the page you want to go to. In google calendar format, you can view specific dates, and links to the information for that specific event. If you have your own google calendar, you can easily add our events to your calendar as well.
  • What To See In Utah (Categories) - If you are looking for what to do in specific areas of Utah, or looking for date night ideas, Utah history, mountains and hiking, and other resources, this is the page to go to. If you have family or friends visiting from out of town, and want to take them around and show them what Utah has to offer, this is a great page to look over with them!
  • Sponsors - We love our blog sponsors! This is where we post links to other companies that are big supporters of Enjoy Utah!, and help keep us going.
  • Sites We Love - When we find a blog/site that we love, we know that many of our readers will love it too. This is where we post links to those blogs. These are not our blog sponsors, but just blogs we love.
  • Online Resources - These are resources for fun activities to do online. There are always those rainy days where you need an indoor activity.
  • About Us / Contact Us - Have you ever wondered how Enjoy Utah! got started, or who we are? This is where you can find information about us, and contact information for each of us. Keeping Enjoy Utah! running is a lot for one person, so I want to make sure you know everybody who is behind this site and helps keep it going and current! As much as you enjoy learning about us, we also enjoy learning about our readers, so don't hesitate to send us an email from time to time just to say hi!
Featured Posts
These are events or promotions that we want to make sure you see, so we post a special link to them to the side of our site. Seasonal Events are also posted as featured posts. Anything that we think you may be especially interested in, we will post a special link to it on the side of the site so that you will not miss it!

Contests and Giveaways
These always include contests we are currently having. Make sure you enter to win, and good luck!

Print Our Posts
Many times we will post lists of upcoming events, such as at the library or other place, and it would be handy to print out and hang on your fridge, or print out a flyer for a friend or neighbor who does not have internet access. Here is how to do that. 

Subscribe To Our Blog
This is the best way to keep up with the most recent information we share with our readers. You will never receive more than one email in a 24 hour period. If we haven't posted anything in the last 24 hours, you will not receive an emai. The subscribe box will always be located on the side of our site. Once you input your email address, make sure to check your inbox, and many times your junk folder, for a confirmation link. If you do not click on this confirmation link, you will not be subscribed.

Blog Archive and Search Enjoy Utah!
These two boxes are always located on the side of our site. If you want to browse our archive of posts, click on the archive button. If you are looking for something specific, enter a keyword in the search box, and find your results at the top.

Grab Our Button
If you want to post a link to us on your blog or site, this is the code you will use. It will post a picture of our logo and a link back to our site. This information will also be located on the side of our site.

Contact Info and Find Us On The Web Info
These two boxes will always be on the side of our blog. This is information on how to email us, or how to find us on Facebook and Twitter.

Share Us With Your Friends!
If you read something that you think your friends or family might like to hear about, you will find sharing tabs. Click these buttons to share on Twitter, Delicious, Facebook, Digg, Add to your Favorites, or Other networking sites. This is what the tabs look like:


If you still have questions about navigating through our site, or there is something you are looking for and cannot find it, please email us at contact@enjoyutah.org.
