Create the HTML File

We do this in DreamWeaver. That way we have a good editor. That file can then be used to make the email and the blog post.

  1. Open DreamWeaver
  2. Open the last newsletter. It is in the last seasons subfolder on KTHT/Newsletter/ folder on Dropbox shared with Kate – with a name like: spring-2011.html
  3. Make a new folder for the newsletter. SAVE it as summer-2011.html Or whatever the current date is.
  4. Edit it using the Design view and the Code view. Save regularly. Post it up to the Browser Firefox or Chrome occasionally. (F12)
  5. Make sure all images for the newsletter are on the web and use the link to the web img.

Tips:

  • To insert links open the page to link to in Firefox – paste link into the newsletter using the link button under “Common”.
  • To Bold things use the B under “Text” or ctrl b
  • To add photos Export them from iPhoto to fit in 650 px and post them to the Web using FireFTP to http://www.katetapley.co.nz/images/ then add the name to the link in DreamWeaver
