Put Newsletter on Blog
These steps essentially mean that we paste the post into the blog. No pictures, they will need separate insertion. Textpad is a way of removing all spaces.
The newsletter has its own Specific Permanent Page and a Current Newsletter Page. We make the new specific page and update the Newsletter page. Then make a post. Here are the steps:
Update the Current Newsletter Page
- If not still open, open the Newsletter you made in DreamWeaver. Go to Code view. Select all and copy. Ctrl+a – Ctrl+c
- Open TextWrangler Paste the lot Ctrl v.
- Delete the first 10 lines or so till you get to <h2>Autumn 2009</h2>Â or whatever the season. Also remove the stuff about the email.
- Still in Textwrangler, Select all, Edit > Reformat the page by finding \r and replacing it with nothing. – This shld have no line breaks – it is one long line.
- Still in TextWrangler Copy the lot, Ctrl+a – Ctrl+c
- Open the Kate Tapley Horse Treks blog Dashboard. Go to Pages > Edit (the link above will take you there).
- If its the Newsletter – Find the page called Newsletter – hover on it and click Edit make sure you are in HTML not Visual (tabs top right on the window).
If not the Newsletter – just make a blog post.
- Select all and paste in the code. Click Update Page Button
- Click Preview to see how it looks. It can take a few moments. All should be fine.
Make the new Specific Permanent Newsletter Page
- While you still have the whole newsletter in your clipboard go to the Dashboard > Page > Add New Here
- Give it the title thus: Spring 2010 Newsletter, Publish
- Check
- Make a new Blog post like this one and its done! (note that link is to the permanent page)
- Exclude the old newsletter in the left sidebar in the widget. Find number by hovering over Edit in Blog Edit.

I just did this on the Mac following the steps and there are a few differences, but I know how to do those.
