  5.  Set Title, Event Category, Event Tags, and make sure you drag the meta boxes up so that you can edit the remaining fields.
    You only need to drag up the meta boxes section if you cannot see the fields within it. If you drag the meta boxes too far up, you may block the Title and then need to drag it back down a bit.

    Event Categories are the event type. For example, "Seminar" or "Colloquium" They will auto-complete as you type. 


    Event Tags are the seminar/colloqium field: For example, "Applied Computational Mathematics" or "Differential Geometry". They will auto-complete as you type.
