What does this mean?

It means that you could put a schedule for a particular film, artist, state/province, presenter, range of dates, etc. in any combination onto your webpages. Then, updates from TRACS would automatically be posted directly to you. You might never have to update your own website calendar again! Please note that full information appears only for current members who have entered their data into the TRACS PromoCenter application.

How do I link this?

You’ll need to know how to build an XSLT file. You’ll have to learn that on your own. Use the sample above as a template or open the feed in your editor to see the fields that are available. You may contact us for information regarding our feeds. For free distribution only. We ask that you credit us with the title link and copyright information from the feed.
